1Opinion of the Court

BERRY, Judge. —

Appellant was convicted in the district court of Jones County for the offense of burglary and his punishment assessed at confinement in the penitentiary for a term of two years.

This is a companion to the case of Skirlock v. State, No. 9043, this day decided. The identical argument on which the judgment in the Skirlock case was reversed, ¡was made by the district attorney in this case, under facts in no manner unlike those in the Skirlock ease. Under the authority of that case, it follows that reversible error was committed by State’s counsel in making the argument complained of.
