ALTON v. STATE.
    No. 24181.
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    Dec. 22, 1948.
    No appearance for appellant.
    Will R. Wilson, Jr., Cr. Dist. Atty., George P. Blackburn, First Asst. Dist. Atty., and Henry Wade, Asst. District Atty., all of Dallas, and Ernest S. Goens, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.
   KRUEGER, Judge.

The offense is burglary. The punishment assessed is confinement in the state penitentiary for a term of 3 years.

In this case, as in Cause No. 24, 180, pending in this court, appellant made a voluntary confession and informed the officers where the property taken from the burglarized premises was located; that as a result of such information, the officers recovered the same and delivered it to the owner. The record reflects that the same procedure was pursued in this case as in the case herein referred to and with the same result.

For the reasons stated in our original opinion in the case of Clinton Albert Alton v. State, 215 S.W.2d 892, in Cause No. 24, 180, the judgment of the trial court entered in this case is affirmed.

PER CURIAM.

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.
