Sentence modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, by reducing it to a term of imprisonment with a minimum of 3Vs years and a maximum of 10 years. As so modified, sentence affirmed. Under the facts presented, the sentence was excessive to the extent indicated. Titone, J. P., Weinstein, O’Connor and Rubin, JJ., concur.
