Ex parte MOORE.
    (No. 4882.)
    (Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    Jan. 30, 1918.)
    Appeal from District Court, .Smith County; J. R. Warren, Judge.
    J. W. Moore, being charged with rape, was denied hail, and applied for writ of habeas corpus.
    Judgment reversed and bail granted.
    Jones & Jones, of Kerrville, and Simpson, Easseter & Gentry, of Tyler, for appellant. E. B. Hendricks, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
   DAVIDSON, P. J.

Relator applied for a writ of habeas corpus, and on the hearing was refused bail under a charge of rape.

The only contention before the court is the sufficiency of the evidence to justify such refusal of bail. It is unnecessary to discuss the evidence. A careful review of it, however, convinces us that relator is entitled to bail, and that the trial court erred in refusing it. The judgment therefore will be reversed and bail granted in the sum of $3,000. -Upon the giving of proper bond, to be approved by the officer who holds relator in custody, he will be discharged.

The judgment is reversed and bail granted.
