The sentence imposed was an indeterminate prison term not to exceed three years. Sentence modified, as a matter of discretion in the interests of justice, by reducing it to five years’ probation. As so modified, sentence affirmed and case remitted to the Criminal Term to fix the conditions of probation. In our opinion, defendant should have been sentenced to a period of probation.
