Opinion:
DAVIDSOH, Judge.
—This conviction was for passing a forged instrument. Pending the appeal appellant has made his escape from custody. He did not voluntarily return within ten days, nor has he as yet returned, or had not up to the time of making of the affidavit by the sheriff of his escape. The ten days had long since expired before the affidavit was made. Under this showing the appeal will have to be dismissed.
Dismissed.
