Mace v. State
123 Tex. Crim. 442; 59 S.W.2d 394; 1933 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 229
Mace v. State
Opinion of the Court
Conviction for burglary; punishment, ten years in the penitentiary.
We find in the record an affidavit made by the sheriff of Ellis county certifying that pending this appeal appellant made his escape from custody, and that he did not voluntarily return. Such escape deprives this court of further jurisdiction of the appeal, and it becomes our duty to dismiss such appeal, and it is accordingly so done.
Dismissed.
