Appellant was allotted a term of twenty years in the penitentiary under conviction for murder.
It is made satisfactorily to appear by the affidavit of the deputy sheriff and jailer that appellant made his escape from jail by overpowering the jailer, and was later captured. He did not voluntarily return but was arrested. The motion of the Assistant Attorney General to dismiss for this reason will be sustained. The appeal, therefore, will be dismissed.
Dismissed.
