Allsbrook, Benton, Knott, Allsbroolc & Cranford, by Dwight L. Cranford, for defendant appellant.

While defendant assigns no error, we have carefully reviewed the record in this case and find that it is free from prejudicial error. Defendant received a fair trial and the sentence imposed is within the limits allowed by statute.

No error.
