¶8This case is a companion case to cause No. 12591, Mathis v. State, 18 S.W.(2d) 920, this day decided. The situation, of the two cases is identical. The appeal in this case was dismissed at a former day of this term because of a defective caption, which has been remedied, and the order of dismissal is set aside, the appeal reinstated, and the case now considered on its merits.
