Ex parte MITCHELL.
    (No. 4661.)
    (Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    Oct. 10, 1917.)
    Appeal from District Court, Knox County; J. H. Milam, Judge. Habeas corpus proceedings by Will Mitchell, seeking bail. From an order-denying bail, relator appeals.
    Reversed, and appellant admitted to bail.
    See, also, 196 S. W. 540.
    E. B. Hendricks, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
   PRENDERGAST, J.

This is an appeal from by the district judge, on a habeas corpus trial. We have read and considered the statement of facts. Our conclusion is that the district judge erred in refusing bail. We think, under the law and the facts, appellant was clearly entitled to bail. The judgment denying hail will therefore be reversed, and upon his executing in accordance with the law the proper bail bond in the sum of $7,500 he will be discharged. Reversed, and appellant admitted to hail.
