BETHEA, J.
The appellant was convicted of automobile theft, and his punishment assessed at 2 years in the penitentiary.
The appellant's defense was an alibi, and in connection therewith he filed an application for a suspended sentence.
The issues and facts in this case are the same as in the companion case (No. 11001) Charles Walker v. State, 299 S. W. 414, which was this day reversed by this court in an opinion written by Judge BAKER. What we have said in the companion case applies with equal force to the instant case.
