A judgment of conviction and sentence were entered accordingly.

This appeal is on the record proper without a transcript of the testimony.

The record appears regular in all respects. No error appearing the judgment must be affirmed.

The foregoing opinion was prepared ‍​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍by FOSTER, Supernumerary Justice of this Court, while serving on it at the request of the Chief Justice under authority of Title 13, section 32, Code, and was adopted ‍​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍by the Court as its opinion.
