William Donnoly v. The People.
    Error to Kent.
    Submitted June 18.
    Decided June 21.
    Conspiracy. Donnoly was convicted of conspiracy to feloniously steal, take and carry away bank bills of the value of $125, and was sentenced to be confined at hard labor in the county jail for 30 days and pay a fine of .$200 within that time, and in default of payment of the fine within the thirty days, to be confined in the county jail for one year. Defendant brings error.
    
      J. E. McBride and D. J. McCarthy for plaintiff in error.
    Attorney General Otto Kirchner for The People.
   Per Curiam.

The decision in Brownbridge v. People, decided at this term, ante, p. 751, governs this. The alternative sentence was bad. Had Donnoly offered to pay the fine on the thirty-first day, he would not have .been allowed to do so, but must have remained in confinement until the year was completed. This was unwarranted.

The judgment must be reversed.
