CHAPPELL, J. The judgment was entered on the 1st day of June, 1928, and the record for appeal was lodged in this court on the 1st day of October, 1928. An appeal from a conviction for a misdemeanor must be filed in this court in 60 days unless the trial court, for good cause shown, makes proper orders of extension. Any extensions the court may make cannot exceed 60 days additional. Therefore the appeal must be filed in this court
