HARDIN v. STATE.

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.

June 2, 1896.

Appeal from El Paso county court; F. E. Hunter, Judge.

John W. Hardin was convicted of a crime, and appeals. Heard on motion to abate appeal. Appeal abated.

Mann Trice, for the State.

DAVIDSON, J.

This is an appeal from a conviction for unlawfully carrying on and about his person a pistol. Since the consummation of the appeal, the appellant has died. A motion is made to abate said appeal in this court. The evidence before us satisfactorily shows that the appellant has died pending this appeal, and the judgment is therefore abated.
