Per Curiam:
The motion of the appellees to dismiss the appeal is granted and the appeal is dismissed for the want of jurisdiction. Godchaux Co. v. Estopinal, 251 U. S. 179; Herndon v. Georgia, 295 U. S. 441, 443; Johnson v. Washington, 296 U. S. 535. Treating the papers whereon the appeal was allowed as a petition for a writ of certiorari, as required by § 237 (c), Judicial Code, as amended by the Act of February 13, 1925 (43 Stat. 936, 938), certiorari is denied.
