Appeal from the Criminal District Court of Tarrant. Tried below before the Honorable Geo. E. Hosey.
Appeal from a conviction of robbery; penalty, twenty-five years imprisonment in the penitentiary.
The opinion states the case.
No brief on file for appellant.
R. G. Storey, Assistant Attorney General, for the State.

Opinion:
MORROW, Presiding Judge.
Appellant is convicted of robbery; punishment fixed at confinement in the penitentiary for a period of twenty-five years.
The sentence is wrong in failing to take account of the Indeterminate Sentence Law. As it reads, it condemns appellant to confinement for the "full period of twenty-five years." It should read: "for a period of not less than five nor more than twenty-five years." It is so amended.
We find neither statement of facts nor bills of exceptions, and discern no fundamental errors requiring a reversal.
The judgment is affirmed.
Affirmed & Reformed.
