(South Western Reporter)
Cates v. State
Opinion of the Court
Conviction was for forgery. It is made to appear that pending this appeal the defendant has escaped from the custody of the sheriff of Lubbock County, Texas, who was holding him in the jail of that county under conviction in this case, as well as under conviction in another case from Lubbock County.
By reason of such escape the jurisdiction of this court no longer attaches, and the appeal is dismissed. Art. 912, Vernon’s C. C. P.
Dismissed.
