Head Matter:
VEGA v. STATE.
(No. 9921.)
(Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
Feb. 24, 1926.)
W. O. Linden,, of San Antonio, and Alfred P. C. Petscb, of Fredericksburg, for appellant.
Sam D. Stinson, State’s Atty., of Austin, and Nat Gentry, Jr., Asst. State’s Atty., of Tyler, for the State.

Opinion:
HAWKINS, J.
Conviction is for murder, punishment being 10 years in the penitentiary.
It is made to appear by affidavit of the sheriff contained in the record that after the appeal was perfected appellant escaped from the custody of such officer. In such case this court loses jurisdiction. Article 824, C. C. P. (1925 Rev.).
The appeal is therefore ordered dismissed.
