Habeas corpus <®=o113(12) — In reversing denial of habeas corpus for bail, court will not discuss case.
In reversing judgment denying habeas corpus for bail to one charged with murder, the Court of Criminal Appeals will refrain from discussing the evidence, or its reason for the conclusion it has reached, in view of the fact the case may be tried before a jury.

Habeas corpus for bail on behalf of Joe Argenta. From judgment remanding him to custody, relator appeals.
Reversed, and bail granted.
Fuller & Brady, of Galveston, for appellant.
Alvin M. Owsley, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.

Opinion:
DAVIDSON, P. J.
Under a charge for murder appellant resorted to a writ of habe-as corpus for bail, upon the hearing of which he was remanded to custody. From that judgment he prosecutes this appeal.
We have carefully read the evidence, but in view of the fact that the case may be tried before a jury we refrain from discussing the evidence or our reason for the conclusion that we have reached. We are of opinion that appellant should have been granted bail, and therefore the judgment is reversed, and appellant is admitted to bail in the sum of $10,000. The sheriff of Galveston county, or officer having appellant in custody, will take and approve his bond in the above amount in the terms of the law, upon the giving of which appellant will be discharged from custody.
Reversed, and bail granted.
