115 P. 128 | Okla. Crim. App. | 1911
This is an attempted appeal by a transcript of the record. Section 6948 of Snyder's Comp. Laws Okla. 1909, is as follows:
"In misdemeanor cases the appeal must be taken within sixty days after the judgment is rendered: Provided, that the trial court or judge may, for good cause shown, extend the time in which such appeal may be taken not exceeding sixty days. In felony cases the appeal must be taken within six months after the judgment is rendered, and a transcript in both felony and misdemeanor cases must be filed as hereinafter directed."
This statute took effect on the 11th day of June, 1909. The information in this case charged the commission of the offense on the 11th day of March, 1909, but the defendant was not tried until the 15th day of July, 1909, which was more than a month *361
after the above statute went into effect. The statute requiring appeals relates only to procedure, and is not therefore ex postfacto, and is applicable to and controls appeals in all cases where the trial occurred after the law went into effect. Ensleyv. State,
In the case at bar judgment was rendered against the appellant on the 17th day of July, 1909, and the record fails to show that any order was made by the county court extending the 60 days within which the statute required that an appeal be taken. The appeal was not filed in this court, and therefore perfected, until the 9th day of October, 1909, which was long after the time allowed by the statute for perfecting the appeal had expired. We are therefore without jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and it must be dismissed. See Simmons v. State,
This appeal is dismissed, with directions to the county court of Rogers county to proceed with the execution of its judgment.
ARMSTRONG and DOYLE, JUDGES, concur.
