Ex parte SHAW.
    (No. 6491.)
    (Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    Nov. 2, 1921.)
    Appeal from District Court, Kaufman County; Joel R. Bond, Judge. Habeas corpus by Mart Shaw to test the legality of the act of the Governor of the state, revoking a parole. From an order remanding relator to the sheriff, to be returned to the penitentiary, he appeals.
    Affirmed.
    R. G. Storey, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
   HAWKINS, J.

The relator, on September 2, 1919, was confined in the penitentiary under conviction for murder in two cases from Kaufman county; life sentences having been imposed in each case. On the date above stated he was paroled by Governor W. P. Hobby to W. T. Nash, of Kaufman county. On the 10th day of June, 1921, Governor Pat M. Neff revoked the parole, and the sheriff of Kaufman county took relator into custody pursuant to said revocation. Upon a habeas eorpus hearing before Hon. Joel R. Bond, judge of the Eighty-Sixth judicial district, to test the legality of such revocation, relator was remanded to the sheriff, to be returned to the penitentiary, and from that order this appeal was taken. The legal questions are identical with those discussed in the cases of Ex parte Jewell Redwine, 236 S. W. 96, decided October 19th, and Ex parte Oscar Sparks, 234 S. W. 393, decided October 26th. Believing the issues raised to have been correctly decided adversely to relator’s contentions, the judgment of the trial court, remanding relator for return to the penitentiary, will be affirmed.
