Syllabus

<p>SUPREME COURT — JURISDICTION—APPEAL IN CRIMINAL CASES.</p> <p>The appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court in criminal cases is confined to final judgments. Hence, where conviction of murder and sentence of death have been affirmed on appeal, the subsequent refusal of the trial judge to appoint a commission to inquire into the defendant’s then mental condition is riot the subject of review, and mandamus to compel him to grant a suspensive appeal from his refusal must be denied.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
