Opinion:
Per Curiam:
The appeals are dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Section 237 (a), Judicial Code, as amended by the Act of February 13, 1925 (43 Stat. 936, 937). Treating the papers whereon the appeals were allowed as petitions for writs of certiorari, as required by § 237 (c) of the Judicial Code, as amended (43 Stat. 936, 938), cer-tiorari is denied. The motions for leave to proceed further in forma pauperis are denied. Reported below: 136 Tex. Cr. R. 60, 94, 95, 140; 123 S. W. 2d 659-661.
