Opinion
No. 20024.
Delivered December 14, 1938.
Sentence Reformed — Penalty.
Where the record was before the Court of Criminal Appeals without statement of facts or bills of exception, indictment appeared regular, and all proceedings thereunder were proper, but it appeared that trial was had on a plea of guilty before the trial court and the sentence recited that penalty was assessed by jury, sentence was reformed to show that the penalty was assessed by the court and, as reformed, conviction affirmed.

Appeal from conviction for perjury; penalty, confinement in penitentiary for two years. Reformed and affirmed.
The opinion states the case.
No appearance for appellant.
Lloyd W. Davidson, State's Attorney, of Austin, for the State.
The appellant was convicted of perjury, and his punishment assessed at two years' confinement in the penitentiary.
The record is before us without statement of facts or bills of exception. The indictment appears regular, and all proceedings thereunder are proper.
It appears, however, that the trial was had on a plea of guilty before the trial court. The sentence, however, recites that the defendant was assessed a penalty of two years' confinement in the penitentiary by the verdict of the jury. This portion of such sentence should be reformed to show that such penalty was assessed by the court, and after the sentence being thus reformed, this judgment is affirmed.
