Gartman v. State
Gartman v. State.
Opinion of the Court
SAMFORD, J.
The appeal is on the record. The indictment names the defendant as “Harvey Gartman” ; the capias names him as “Harvey Gartman” ; the appearance bond names him, in the body of the bond, “Harvey Gartman”; but he signs the bond “H. A. Gartman,” and upon this bond he was released from custody; the verdict finds the defendant guilty, without naming him; the judgment runs against “the defendant, H. A. Gartman.” It was not necessary to have set out the name of the defendant in the judgment. With the record before us, and in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, we think the error is self-correcting, and that “Harvey” and “H. A.” are one and the same.
The sentence of the court is for a period of not less than one year nor more than two years. This sentence is not warranted by the statute, and the cause must be remanded for proper sentence. Rogers v. State, 17 Ala. App. 175 , 83 So. 359 .
Affirmed, as to judgment, and remanded improper sentence.
