    Criminal law <&wkey;l208(9) — Indeterminate sentencing given defendant, convicted of robbery.
    Judgment sentencing defendant convicted of robbery to confinement in penitentiary for eight years held irregular, and reformed so as to sentence her to not less than five nor more than eight years.
    Appeal from Criminal District Court, Tar-rant County; George E. Hosey, Judge.
    Eva Hill was convicted of robbery, and she appeals.
    Reformed and affirmed.
    R. G. Storey, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
   MORROW, IP. J.

Conviction is for robbery. The indictment is regular; and we have before us neither statement of. facts nor bill of exceptions.

The judgment is irregular in that it orders appellant’s confinement in the penitentiary for the full period of eight years. It should condemn her to confinement in the state penitentiary for a period of not less than five nor more than eight years, and it will be so reformed and affirmed. See Cole v. State, 73 Tex. Cr. R. 457, 165 S. W. 929, and other cases listed in Vernon’s Tex. Crim. Statutes, vol. 2, p. 857.
