Proc. 1916, art. 904, to approve it, telephoned the deputy sheriff that he would approve the bond, cannot be considered by the appellate court, and a release 'of accused without a strict compliance with the statute was without warrant of law.

We find the appeal bond in this ease to be in the same condition as that in cause No. 7110 (245 S. W. 683), against the same appellant, with a motion to dismiss the appeal for the same reason. What we said in the other case with reference to mo tion for certiorari also applies in tlie instant case.
The appeal will be dismissed.
