ON STATE’S SECOND MOTION FOR REHEARING.
MORRISON, Judge.
The opinion heretofore rendered herein on March 31, 1954, is withdrawn; and the following is substituted in lieu thereof.
It is shown in the verdict of the jury that they found the defendant guilty of burglary of a private residence at night with the intent to commit the crime of rape, with punishment assessed at confinement in the state penitentiary for a period of 99 years.
In the judgment of the court the same verdict is set forth, but the judgment further recites that defendant shall be punished by confinement in the state penitentiary “for life.”
The judgment is therefore amended in order to conform with the verdict of the jury so as to order that appellant be confined in the penitentiary for a term of 99 years.
*658The sentence correctly provides that appellant be confined in the penitentiary for an indeterminate term of not less than 5 years nor more than 99 years. That portion of the sentence which refers to the punishment adjudged is reformed so as to read that such punishment was assessed in the judgment at 99 years.
The judgment and sentence being thus reformed, appellant’s second motion for rehearing and the state’s motion are overruled.
