1Per curiam
The defendants will be discharged, upon the authority of City of Miltonvale v. Lanoue, 35 Kas. 606. In that case it was said, among other things:
“Pending the appeal in the supreme court, [in a case for a fine and costs and imprisonment therefor, until paid,] we think the entire judgment is suspended — that with regard to the imprisonment, as well as that with regard to the payment of a fine or costs.”
