                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
                          ---------------------------


The Board of Directors
Perpetual Bank, A Federal Savings Bank
 and Subsidiaries

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Perpetual Bank, A Federal
Savings Bank and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended September 30, 1997.  These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Perpetual Bank, A
Federal Savings Bank and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended September 30, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

#### RAY v. STATE.

No. 23524.

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.

Jan. 22, 1947.

No appearance for appellant.

Ernest S. Goens, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.

DAVIDSON, Judge.

This is a conviction under Article *802c,*Vernon’s Penal Code, which renders the killing of one by an intoxicated driver of an automobile murder without malice. The punishment was assessed at two years’ confinement in the penitentiary.

The State’s testimony amply supports the jury’s conclusion.

Appellant did not testify as to the facts of the transaction. He limited his testimony only to supporting his application for a suspended sentence.

There was testimony from the State’s witnesses raising the issue of causal connection between the drunk-driving and the death of the deceased. This issue was submitted to the jury by appropriate instruction, and no exceptions or objections were reserved thereto.

No bills of exception accompany the rec,ord.

Appellant filed what he denominated his plea of former jeopardy or conviction. The order overruling this plea recites that no evidence was offered in support thereof. The plea, although sworn to, constituted only a pleading and did not establish as true the issues of fact alleged therein. Appellant should have offered proof to sustain the allegations of the plea. In the absence of such proof there is nothing before us to show that the action of the trial court in overruling the plea was error.

The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

PER CURIAM.

The. foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the Judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the court.

(A)  For purposes of computing these ratios, "earnings" represent income before
     income taxes plus fixed charges. "Fixed charges" consist of interest
     expense, one-third (the proportion deemed representative of the interest
     factor) of rental expense on operating leases, and preferred stock
     dividends of subsidiary trust.

(B)  For the six months ended June 30, 1997, earnings were inadequate to cover
     fixed charges. The deficiency was approximately $19.4 million.
