Appeal from Smith County Court; J. A. Bullock, Judge.

Paul Burks was convicted of a crime, and he appeals. Pending the appeal Burks died. Appeal abated.

F. J. McCord, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.

DAVIDSON, P. J.

Pending this appeal appellant's death is suggested.

This is supported by proper evidence. The facts being as stated, under our law, this abates the appeal. It is therefore ordered that this appeal be abated.
