Opinion of the Court
From the testimony, as adduced on the trial and exhibited in the statements of facts, there can be no question, in our opinion, but that the relator is entitled to bail. If there is a single tittle of testimony going to connect him in any manner with the supposed murder, much less pertinently identifying him as its perpetrator, then we have failed to discover it in the record sent up to us on appeal from the order and judgment of the District Court refusing him bail. Our Constitution provides that “ all •prisoners shall be bailable by sufficient sureties, unless for capital offences when the proof is evident; but this provision shall not be so construed as to prevent bail after indictment found, upon examination of the evidence, in such manner as may be prescribed by law.” Art. I., sect. 11.
