1DissentBlackbird, Chief Justice

I cannot agree with the Majority opinion. I can find nothing that gives this court appellate jurisdiction of this case.

As I see it, the only way authority for our assuming jurisdiction of the case may be found is by reading it into Tit. 12 O.S. 1961 § 962.

In all previous cases in which we have considered whether an appeal may be lodged in this court later than the 20-day period immediately after settling of the case-made, prescribed by Tit. 12 O.S.1961 § 972, we have considered said 20-day provision as absolute, and have resisted all efforts to escape its effect.
