1. ““Resort to 62-2203, supra, makes it appear that, under its provisions, the district court of Seward County had authority to suspend execution of the sentence it had imposed againt appellant and place him on parole for such period a^d upon such terms and conditions as it deemed best, and permit him to go and remain at large until that parole was terminated, subject only to the condition that the period of parole, together with any extension thereof, should not exceed five years. In this connection it should be noted that the district court revoked appellant’s parole and committed him to the penitentiary within the five-year period. And pointed out that, prior to that time, he had been at liberty under a suspended felony sentence by virtue of an order of parole the terms of which, both in fact and in law, had not been suspended and were in full force and effect.” (p. 53.)”
