| Court | Alabama Supreme Court |
Appeal from Circuit Court, Jackson County; W. W. Haralson, Judge.
"Not officially reported."
John W. Heal was convicted of an offense, and he appeals. Affirmed.
Massey Wilson, Atty. Gen., for the State.
The trial of this cause was had on September 20, 1905, resulting in a verdict of guilty. On September 23d judgment of guilty was rendered by the court upon the verdict, and defendant allowed 60 days within which to present his bill of exceptions. The court adjourned on that day. On November 22d the presiding judge made an order extending the time for the signing of the bill "until the 22d day of December, 1905." On that day the bill was signed. The time within which it could be legally signed expired with the day preceding. Richardson v. State, 39 So. 12, and cases there cited. The paper in the record purporting to be a bill of exceptions, therefore, cannot be considered.
There is no error in the record, and the judgment is affirmed.
