The record is before us without a statement of facts or bills of exceptions. The indictment in the instant case follows the language contained in the indictment in the case of Simmons v. State, 135 Tex.Cr.R. 425, 120 S.W.2d 1061 which was held sufficient to charge the offense. Therefore, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
