delivered the opinion of the court.

Frank Valentine Famular, ‍‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‍defendant in the court below, was convicted of the statutory offense of kidnapping and there sentenced to be confined ‍‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‍eight years in the State penitentiary. That sentence is now before us on a.writ of error.

This case is, mutatis mutandis, the case ‍‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‍of Krummert v. Commonwealth, ante, page 581, 43 S. E. (2d) 831.

The offense is the same; the procedure is the same; the evidence is ‍‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‍the same, and the sentence is the s.ame. For reasons which are set out in our opinion in Krummert’s Case, the ‍‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‍judgment of the trial court in this case is affirmed.

Affirmed.
