State v. Bradley
293 N.W. 858 | Iowa | 1940
The defendant was tried, convicted and sentenced to a fine and imprisonment for illegal sale of intoxicating liquor. He appealed and apparently stayed execution of the judgment by giving bail. After submission of the appeal, but before decision thereon, defendant died. Such death abated the action, not only as concerns the appeal, but also the entire procedure ab initio. State v.

RICHARDS, C.J., and MILLER, HAMILTON, SAGER, HALE, BLISS, and MITCHELL, JJ., concur. *93
