   PRENDERGAST, J.

The appellant was indicted and convicted of burglary.

Since the appeal in this case, it has been clearly shown to us, that pending the appeal, the appellant made his escape from the custody of the sheriff of Bexar county, and that he did not voluntarily return within 10 days.

Therefore, upon the motion of the Assistant Attorney General, this cause is dismissed.

DAVIDSON, P. J., absent.
