Opinion:
Townsend, J.
— Appellant was convicted of a violation of what is commonly known as the "Blind Tiger" Law and sentenced to pay a fine of $100 and imprisoned in the county jail for thirty days.
It is his contention that he should have been sentenced to the penal farm. He attempts to present this question by a motion for a new trial.
An objection to place of imprisonment should have been presented by a motion to modify the judgment. Hunt v. State (1917), 186 Ind. 644, 117 N. E. 856.
Judgment affirmed.
