On May 9, 1922, he was again put upon trial; the verdict of the jury being “We the jury find the defendant guilty as charged’ in the indictment.”- The court rendered judgment in accord with this verdict, and duly sentenced the defendant to imprisonment in the penitentiary for not less than 10 years, nor more than 20 years; from this judgment he appeals. The time for, filing a bill of exceptions has expired; the appeal being upon the record proper.
