S.A.1953, provided a penalty of imprisonment \u201cfor any period of time not less than three [3] years.\u201d This has been construed as providing a' maximum sentence of life imprisonment. State v. Maestas, 63 N.M. 67, 313 P.2d 337. The indeterminate sentence statute, \u00a7 41-17-1, N.M.S.A.1953, requires the court to impose a sentence of the minimum and the maximum provided by law. State v. Romero, N.Mex., 385 P.2d 967.\nIt follows that the sentence imposed was erroneous. The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded with instructions to vacate the sentence imposed and to resentence the defendant in conformity with this opinion.\nIt is so ordered.\nCOMPTON, C. J., and CARMODY, J., concur.",
