Decided: 08/04/1928
Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals

(Syllabus.)

Appeal and Error Affirmance Where no Brief Filed.

Appeal from District Court, Creek County; Fred A. Speakman, Judge.

William E. Oliver was convicted of manslaughter in the first degree, and he appeals. Affirmed.

Wallace & Wallace, S.M. Cunningham, and Wayne H. Lasater, for plaintiff in error.

Edwin Dabney, Atty. Gen., for the State.

EDWARDS, J. The plaintiff in error was convicted in the district court of Creek county on a charge of manslaughter in the first degree, and was sentenced to serve a term of ten years in the state penitentiary.

The judgment was rendered in October, 1925, and the appeal lodged in this court in March, 1926. No briefs in support of the appeal have been filed, nor was any appearance for oral argument made at the time the case was submitted. We have examined the record, and find that the information properly charges the crime of murder, the evidence supports the verdict and judgment, the issues were fairly submitted, and no jurisdictional or fundamental error is apparent.
