OPINION ON APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR REHEARING
MORRISON, Judge.
Appellant concedes. that she was guilty as a principal, but contends that the offense which she committed was aggravated assault and not assault with intent to murder. Reliance is had especially on the opinion of the majority in the recent case of Blount v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 376 S.W.2d 844. While we concluded in our original opinion that Blount was distinguishable from the instant case, we shall point out a few additional facts. In Blount the attacker was acting alone, was 52 years old and weighed 175 pounds, while the victim was 34 years old, weighed 210 pounds and ultimately subdued the accused. In the case at bar the record reflects that the appellant was actively assisted in her attack upon the injured party by her six feet three inch tall husband, who weighed 224 pounds, and that the attackers desisted only when they saw the lights of an approaching automobile.
In addition to the specific injuries set forth originally, this record reveals that the injured party suffered a severe contusion of the buttocks, a sprained and contused shoulder, contusions on her legs and chest, two black eyes and an abrasion behind the right ear, and that a urinalysis showed a large quantity of fresh blood in her urine.
These facts in addition to those set forth originally are sufficient to show serious multiple wounds and distinguish the two cases.
Remaining convinced that we properly disposed of this cause originally, appellant’s motion for rehearing is overruled.
