Opinion
No. 23065.
Delivered January 31, 1945.
Murder — Bail.
Where only witness testifying on application for bail described a wanton murder with no indication of any mitigating circumstances, trial judge's order refusing bail was proper.
Appeal from District Court of Jim Wells County. Hon. L. Broeter, Judge.
Appeal from refusal of District Judge to grant appellant bail.
Affirmed.
The opinion states the case.
Nago L. Alaniz, of San Diego, for appellant.
Ernest S. Goens, State's Attorney, of Austin, for the State.
The appeal is from the refusal of District Judge to grant bail to appellant on a charge of murder filed against him in the Justice Court of Jim Wells County.
The only witness testifying in the case and whose evidence appears in the record describes a wanton murder with no indication of any mitigating circumstances. We have no support for a finding that the order of the District Judge, refusing bail, is not warranted.
The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
