No. 20663 | La. | Nov 4, 1914
Defendant, charged with' the crime of arson (the burning of a church), was convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for seven years, and has appealed, but has made no appearance by counsel in this court.
We find in the record not a single bill of exception. A notation by the clerk that the defendant excepted and reserved a bill does not relieve the party from the necessity of writing out, and having signed, a proper bill of exception. See State v. Carr, 111 La. 716" date_filed="1904-01-18" court="La." case_name="State v. Carr">111 La. 716, 35 So. 839" date_filed="1904-01-18" court="La." case_name="State v. Pastor">35 South. 839.
Judgment affirmed.
