Description
The defendant was not present at the trial after the first States witness was examined and cross-examined. Nor was he present when the verdict was rendered. Insofar as this record reveals, he is not at this time at a place where the superior court may exercise its jurisdiction over him personally by imposing a proper judgment on the verdict. The question, therefore, could be but has not been raised as to whether the defendant, by fleeing the jurisdiction of the court, has forfeited his right to appeal. See State v. Williams, 145 N.C. 560, 59 S.E. 872 (1907). However, since no motion has been made to dismiss, we consider the appeal. State v. Williams, 263 N.C. 800, 140 S.E.2d 529 (1965); State v. Dalton, 185 N.C. 606, 115 S.E. 881 (1923).
