Opinion:
MARTIN, J.
Relator was charged by indictment in the district court of Brazos county with the offense of rape by force, threats, and fraud. Upon a habeas corpus hearing, he was denied bail. The facts and circumstances of this case mate it inadvisable we think for this court to make any extended statement or analysis of them. Suffice it to say that the evidence exhibited in the record is sufficient to raise defensive issues and mitigating circumstances, which, if believed by the jury, would not result in a verdict assessing death as a punishment.
