    (Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    Feb. 28, 1917.)
    Appeal from District Court, Knox County: J. H. Milan, Judge. Habeas corpus proceedings on behalf of George Douglass to procure bail. Erom judgment denying bail, relator appeals.
    Relator directed to be discharged from custody upon giving bond.
    J. M. Hawkins, of Paducah, for appellant. E. B. Hendricks, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
   DAVIDSON, P. J.

Appellant, under habeas corpus proceedings, was denied bail under a charge of killing J. J. Mitchell. Upon trial the court denied bail, and appellant prosecutes this appeal. Without reviewing the facts or going into the details of the testimony, we are of opinion that the court was in error, and that the appellant was entitled to bail, and fix that amount at $7,500. Upon the giving of bond as required by law in said amount, relator will be discharged from custody.
