Powers of Court.</p> <p>Suspending the imposition of a sentence is nothing more than a continuance of a case after plea or verdict of guilty for sentence at a later time and one who does not object to the suspension of sentence, cannot complain at a subsequent term that the court has no authority to suspend sentence, and that by so doing it lost jurisdiction to' proceed.</p> <p>2. Same.</p> <p>A proviso in the order of the court suspending a sentence, that the accused leave and remain out of the county is void.</p> <p>3. -Same.</p> <p>A court has no power to indefinitely suspend the imposition of a sentence after plea or verdict of guilty where the court fails to impose sentence the case remains in the same attitude as if it had simply been continued for sentence with accused’s consent.</p>
