Sam WILSON v. STATE.
    No. 14771.
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    Oct. 21, 1931.
    Alex P. Pope, of Tyler, for appellant.
    Lloyd W. Davidson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.
   CALHOUN, J.

The offense is possessing intoxicating liquor for the purpose of sale; the punishment, confinement in the penitentiary for eighteen months.

The record is before us without a statement of facts or bills of exception. We note that the verdict of the jury finding the appellant guilty assessed his punishment at eighteen months in the penitentiary, while the sentence fixed his punishment at confinement in the penitentiary for a straight term of eighteen months. The sentence will therefore be reformed so as to assess appellant’s punishment at confinement in the penitentiary for an indeterminate period of not less than one year nor more than eighteen months, and, as so reformed, no question being presented for review, the judgment 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.
