Conviction is for assault with intent to murder. Punishment, two years in the penitentiary.

was not executed until February 13, and is approved only by the sheriff, whereas Article 904, C.C.P. requires bond in such cause to be approved both by the Sheriff and the trial judge. Hanson v. State, (No. 6959, Opinion delivered May 10, 1922; not yet reported).
