CRIMINAL LAW — APPEAL — RECORD — STATEMENT OF FACTS — TIMELY FILING AS JURISDICTIONAL. Under Rule on Appeal 46, a statement of facts in a criminal appeal is necessary to a consideration of any and all questions presented by the assignments of error, and the timely filing of the statement of facts is jurisdictional; hence, where the statement of facts was not filed within the ninety-day period as required by Rule on Appeal 46(3), and no extension of time was granted, the supreme court did not secure jurisdiction and the appeal will be dismissed.
See 16 A.L.R. 1095; 3 Am. Jur. 139 et seq.
