SWANN v. STATE OF MARYLAND

Criminal Law — Delay in Appeal.

Even in the case of a conviction of murder with sentence of death, where the appeal was not entered until fifty-four days after the judgment and sentence, and therefore beyond the statutory limit of thirty days, and no exceptions were prepared and presented until after the expiration of the term, although no extension had been applied for, or any agreement obtained, the appeal must be dismissed.

Decided July 8th, 1927.

BOND, C.J., delivered the opinion of the Court.
