HOPE v. STATE.
    No. 20077.
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    March 15, 1939.
    Lee Wallace, W. C. Baker, and Dent Taylor, all of Kerrville, and J. Franklin Spears, of San Antonio, for appellant.
    Lloyd W. Davidson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.
   GRAVES, Judge.

Appellant was convicted of murder, and given a term of ten years in the penitentiary.

It has been made known to this court, by proper affidavit, that the appellant died on or about the 5th day of November, 1938, after having perfected his appeal. The death of the appellant deprives this court of jurisdiction of the appeal. It is therefore abated.
