    "head_matter": "STATE v. J. N. CANNON.\n(Filed 16 April, 1947.)\nCriminal Law \u00a7 73d\u2014\nWhere the death of the trial judge prevents settlement of case on appeal, and thereafter the solicitor offers to withdraw his exceptions to the defendant\u2019s statement and the Attorney-General in apt time moves in the Supreme Court that defendant\u2019s statement be taken as the case on appeal, the motion of defendant for a new trial will be denied and the motion of the Attorney-General allowed, defendant being in no position to complain of statement of case made out by himself. G. S., 15-180, G. S., 1-282, G. S., 1-283.\nMotioN by defendant for new trial for want of statement of case on appeal and inability to secure same.\nAt the September Term, 1946, Wake Superior Court, before Thompson, J., and a jury, the defendant herein, J. N. Cannon, was prosecuted upon indictment charging him with subornation of perjury, which resulted in a verdict of guilty and sentence of three years in the State\u2019s Prison. From the judgment thus pronounced, the defendant gave notice of appeal to the Supreme Court.\n\"Within the time allowed, or subsequently extended by the solicitor, the defendant duly served his statement of case on appeal. This was seasonably returned by the solicitor together with his exceptions and objections. Within fifteen days thereafter, and before the case and exceptions had been mailed to the judge with request to fix time and place for settling case before him, Judge Thompson met an untimely death at his home in Elizabeth City.\nThereupon, counsel for defendant filed with the Clerk of Wake Superior Court the record in the case showing an unsettled statement of the case on appeal, had the same certified to this Court, and moves here for a new trial agreeably to the usual practice in such cases. S. v. Paries, 107 N. C., 821, 12 S. E., 572; Rector v. Mfg. Go., 188 N. C., 807, 125 S. E., 629. The motion was filed here on 29 March, 1947.\nThereafter on 1 April, 1947, the solicitor filed notice in the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court of Wake County, offering to withdraw his exceptions to the defendant\u2019s statement of case on appeal and to accept the defendant\u2019s statement thereof as the case on appeal.\nUpon this notice and motion of the solicitor being certified here, the Attorney-General moves that the case be heard on the defendant\u2019s statement of case on appeal, disregarding the solicitor\u2019s abandoned exceptions and objections.\nAttorney-General McMullan and Assistant Attorney-General Moody for the State.\nEdward F. Griffin and Yarborough & Yarborough for defendant."
