H Judgment modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, by reducing the sentence imposed to an indeterminate term of 2 to 6 years' imprisonment. As so modified, judgment affirmed. H Under the circumstances of this case, the sentence as reduced is more appropriate. Titone, J. P., Gibbons, Brown and Niehoff, JJ., concur.
