Opinion:
DAVIDSON, P. J.
Appellant was indicted for murder, and, seeking a discharge from arrest, applied for bond under a writ of habeas corpus. The trial judge, after hear ing the witnesses and considering tlie testimony, remanded Mm to custody. -
We have read the record and the facts carefully, and have reached the conclusion that the trial court was correct in refusing bail. A statement of the facts and reasons for our conclusion from the testimony will not be given. The case is to be tried before a jury, and, following the rule of the court, a discussion of the facts is pretermitted. This permits the case to go before the jury without any expressed view of this court with reference to the value, force, and weight of the testimony.
Believing the court was correct in refusing bail, the judgment will be affirmed.
