    (Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    June 25, 1913.)
    Appeal from District Court, Fayette County; Frank S. Roberts, Judge. Philip Mendlovitz was arrested on a charge of rape. From an order refusing bail, he appeals.
    Reversed, and bail granted.
    Jno. T. Duncan and L. D. Brown, both of La Grange, and Lane, Wolters & Stor-ey, of Houston, for appellant. O. E. Lane, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
   DAVIDSON, P. J.

Relator was arrested on a charge of rape, and tried in the district court before the district judge on a writ of habeas corpus. He was refused bail by the district judge. A review of the testimony leaves us under the impression and with the conviction that this is a bailable case, and that the court erred in remanding relator to custody. Therefore the judgment is reversed, and bail is granted in the sum of $3,000. Upon giving bond in the above sum in the terms of the law, the officer having relator in custody will release him. Reversed, and bail granted.
