   DAVIDSON, P. J.

From a judgment of the court' remanding relator to custody with-, out bail' this appeal is prosecuted.

After a careful revision of the facts, we are of opinion that the record does not justify the judgment of the trial court refusing hail. We deem it unnecessary to state the evidence, or analyze it, or give the -reasons for the conclusion we have reached. Inasmuch as the case will be tried before a jury, we express no opinion as to the weight of the testimony, or the reasons that induced the court to believe that the case is bailable; but, believing it is bailable, the judgment is reversed, and bail is granted in the sum of $10,000. Upon giving bond in the terms of the law, to be approved by the sheriff of Hemp-hill county, relator will be released from custody.

Reversed, and bail granted.
