Knowles v. State

Opinion of the Court

LATTIMORE, Judge. —

Conviction for false entry in the books of a bank; punishment, three years in the penitentiary.

There are no facts in the record. All matters of procedure appear regular, save that in entering sentence no notice was taken of our law regarding indeterminate sentences. Appellant was sentenced to confinement in the penitentiary for not less than three nor more than three years. The lowest penalty for the offense is two years. The sentence will be reformed so as to direct appellant’s confinement in the penitentiary for not less than two nor more than three years. As reformed, the judgment will be affirmed.

Affirmed.

Addendum

ON MOTION FOR REHEARING.

MORROW, Presiding Judge. —

The offense charged is controlled by the same statutes and legal principles as Knowles v. State, No. 16,694, to which case reference is here made.

The motion for rehearing is overruled.

Overnded.
