DAVIDSON, Presiding Judge.

Under a charge for murder appellant resorted to a writ of habeas corpus for ‍​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‍bail, upon the hearing of which he was remanded to custody. Prom 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 ten thousand ‍​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‍dollars. 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.
