to the custody of an officer and an appeal is taken to an appellate
court, the defendant shall be allowed bail by the court
or judge so remanding the defendant, except in capital cases
where the proof is evident. The fact that such defendant is released
on bail shall not be ground for a dismissal of the appeal

an emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

days in each House be suspended and said rule is hereby suspended
