Head Matter:
JOHN DICKSON v. STATE.
No. A-8706.
June 28, 1934. .
(34 Pac. [2d] 607.)
Finney & Cook and C. D. Wilkinson, for plaintiff in error.
J. Berry King, Atty. Gen., and Smith C. Matson, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Plaintiff in error, hereinafter called defendant, was convicted in the district court of McCurtain county of larceny of an automobile, and sentenced to serve a term of 15 years in the state penitentiary. The principal contention made is that under the record the punishment assessed is excessive and that justice requires a modification.
We are convinced that under the testimony the conviction should be sustained. The judgment is therefore modified by a reduction of sentence from 15 years in the penitentiary to 5 years, and, as modified, the case is affirmed.
