1. ““1. While an appeal may be taken by defendant as a matter of right from judgment of conviction, the manner of taking and perfecting such appeal is a proper matter of legislative control, and the statute prescribing the manner in which an appeal can be taken is mandatory. 2. In order to perfect an appeal from a judgment of conviction in a criminal case, it is mandatory that notice of intent to appeal and request for casemade, both in writing, be given in open court at the time of judgment and sentence, or within ten days thereafter. Title 22, O.S.A. § 1060, effective May, 1965. 3. A failure to give such written notice of intention to appeal and request for casemade within the time provided by statute, is fatal to the appeal, for the Court of Criminal Appeals has no jurisdiction to hear and determine appeal on its merits. 4. Inasmuch as no written notice or request for casemade was given within the time prescribed in the instant case, Court of Criminal Appeals could not have acquired jurisdiction after * * *, ten days after judgment and sentence, and trial judge should have carried out judgment at that time.””
