HARPER, J.
Appellant was convicted of assault with intent to murder, and her punishment assessed at two years’ confinement in the state penitentiary.
The court, in submitting his charge to the jury, submitted also three forms of verdict: One in case the jury found appellant not guilty; one in case they found her guilty, and recommended a suspension of sentence, and the other if they found appellant guilty and recommended that the sentence be not suspended. Instead of writing out their verdict in full, the jury filled out the blanks in this latter form, and the foreman signed his name thereto. No exception was reserved at the time the verdict was received by the court, but in the motion for a new trial it is contended this amounted to no verdict Such contention cannot be sustained.
The judgment is affirmed.
