   DAVIDSON, P. J.

This case was appealed from a conviction for murder in the first degree, with the death penalty assessed. Since filing the transcript or record in this court, appellant has escaped from custody. Satisfactory proof is made to appear by the affidavits of the officer having him in charge.

On account of said escape, the appeal herein is dismissed.
