Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Civil Rights — Suspension—Imprisonment. The suspension of the civil rights of a person sentenced to the penitentiary for a term less than life begins at the date of his imprisonment under the sentence.</p> <p>2. Deeds — Executed Pending a Stay of Execution of a Sentence of Imprisonment. A sentence to the penitentiary for a term of years does not make void a conveyance duly executed by the convict before he is imprisoned under the sentence and while execution of the judgment of conviction is stayed by proceedings upon appeal to the supreme court.</p> <p>3. -Delivery — Escrow. The manual deposit of a deed with a third party, to receive and hold for the grantee, with intent thereby to give it effect as a conveyance and to place it beyond the custody and control of the grantors, with a declared or manifest purpose of making a present transfer of title, is a sufficient delivery.</p>
