   DAVIDSON, Presiding Judge.

—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 the 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.

Bail granted.
