Undercofler, Presiding Justice.
Al W. Hampton was tried and convicted for burglary and aggravated assault, and sentenced to serve 15 years and 12 months concurrently, respectively. He filed a petition for habeas corpus alleging that the burglary indictment was fatally defective in failing to allege specifically the felony, he "without authority, and with intent to commit a felony therein, entered the dwelling house . . .” to commit. The habeas court granted his petition and the state, through the warden, appeals. We reverse.
