He entered a plea of not guilty, was tried before court and jury and found guilty. Pursuant to Code sections 687.6, 687.7, I.C.A., and 726.5 he was sentenced to pay a fine of $200 and in default of payment was ordered committed to the county jail one day for each $5 of the fine. He was also sentenced to the county jail for three months. However, this jail sentence was suspended and a bench parole granted him during good behavior.
