The trial was not, in this respect, according to law. Paschal’s Digest, Article 2935, provides that the prison*203er shall be served with a copy of the indictment at least two whole days before he can be arraigned for trial. *

The judgment must be reversed and cause remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
