Defendant was charged by county attorney’s information with the crime of operating a motor vehiclé while his" license was .under suspension, in violation of section 321 A. 32, Code, 1962. He pleaded guilty and was fined $200. In default of payment of the fine he is to be confined in the Polk County jail not to exceed 20 days. Defendant’s appeal comes to us upon a clerk’s transcript.. We think the jail sentence for nonpayment of the fine is too indefinite to be permitted to stand. State v. Jackson, 251 Iowa 537, 546-549, 101 N.W.2d 731, 736-738; State v.
