The statement of facts was filed in the trial court on November 14, 1930, which was more than ninety days after notice of appeal was given. This was too late, the ninety days allowed by the statute having expired. Article 760, C. C. P., 1925; Simmons v. State, 116 Texas Crim. Rep., 68, 28 S. W. (2d) 1084.
