event the application may be either
granted or refused, in the exercise Of
a sound judicial discretion. In the
case as now presented to this COURT
counsel have insisted upon the right
to bail as q matter of strict legal right
and. have omitted to present to this
court any facts or consid erations of a.
special nature which would appeal to
the discretion vested in this court, or
which would in any way enlighten this
COURT with respect to the granting or
refusing of bail under the cireum-
stances surrounding this case, Hence
We are not in position in this case to
grant bail at the present time But
our refusal to do so does not operate
as bar to any future application for
bail by the petitioner He is entirely
free to make another application; but
in the event of his doing so the appli-
cation should be first made to the dis
trict court, as that tribunal is conven-
lent to the PARTIES and is also in bet
ter position to understand existing
local conditions and all the facts and
circumstances bearing upon the mat
ter of granting or refusing bail in this
particular case. 3. .~,.-
In reaching the conclusions which
have been advanced in this opinion
there has been entire unanimity OF
opinion on the part of the members of
this court except upon the point of
whether the petitioner is entitled to
bail as matter OF strict legal right.
As to that point conclusion is reached
by a divided court.
The writ prayed for in the petition
is denied.
