Sentence modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, by reducing it to a term of imprisonment with a minimum of one year and a maximum of six years. As so modified, sentence affirmed. The sentence was excessive to the extent indicated herein. Gulotta, P. J., Hopkins, Martuscello and O’Connor, JJ., concur.
