HAWKINS, Presiding Judge.

*576 Conviction is for murder, punishment assessed at five years in the penitentiary.

The record contains neither statement of facts nor bills of exception. All proceedings appear regular save the sentence omits giving effect to the indeterminate sentence law. The sentence is reformed to direct the confinement of appellant in the penitentiary for not less than two nor more than five years.

As so reformed, the judgment is affirmed.
