Ex parte Taylor

Opinion of the Court

DAVIDSON, J.

Relator was arrested under a charge of murder, and resorted to a writ of habeas corpus for the purpose of obtaining bail. The court, upon hearing the evidence, held against relator, and remanded him to custody. In this we think the court was in error. We are of opinion that relator is entitled to bail. Therefore the judgment is reversed, and bail is granted in the sum of $7,500. Upon the giving of bail in the above sum under the terms of the law, the sheriff will release relator.
