   DAVIDSON, P. J.

Under habeas corpus proceeding the appellant was remanded to custody without bail. We are of opinion that in this there was error. A careful inspection of the facts leads us to this conclusion. We pretermit a discussion of the evidence, inasmuch as tht case will go before a jury. The judgment is reversed, and bail is fixed in the sum of $10,000; the bond to be taken and approved by the sheriff of Harris county. The judgment is reversed, and bail granted.
