Opinion of the Court — Krueger

KRUEGER, Judge.

Selling intoxicating liquor is the offense ; the punishment, confinement in the state penitentiary for a term of two years.

The record is before us without a statement of facts or bills of exception. No defect either in the indictment or procedure has been pointed out or has been perceived. No question is presented for review.

The judgment and sentence are improperly entered, in that they fail to take note of the Indeterminate Sentence Law as set forth in article 775, Code of Criminal Procedure, 1925. The judgment and sentence will be reformed in that particular so as to declare that the appellant shall be confined in the penitentiary for a period of not less than one nor more than two years.

As reformed, the judgment is affirmed.

Reformed and affirmed.

The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the Judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the Court.
