Arizona Supreme Court · Decided September 25, 1917 · Franklin
19 Ariz. 193; 167 P. 709; 1917 Ariz. LEXIS 76

Owen v. State

Opinion of the Court

FRANKLIN, C. J.

John A. Owen was charged with the crime of transporting intoxicating liqnor within the state of Arizona. From a judgment of conviction he has appealed to this court. The Attorney General has submitted proof showing that appellant, pending the appeal, has escaped from custody, and that he is now a fugitive from justice. A prisoner absconding and being a fugitive from justice waives the right to have his case considered and determined on appeal. Alday v. State/15 Ariz. 334, 138 Pac. 1043. Appeal dismissed.

ROSS and CUNNINGHAM, JJ., concur.
