    Ex parte FOSTER.
    (No. 5928.)
    (Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    March 23, 1921.
    Rehearing Denied June 15, 1921.)
    Original application by Clarence Foster for habeas corpus.
    Relief denied, and relator remanded.
    Sid Crumpton, of Texarkana, for appellant.
    Alvin M. Owsley, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
   HAWKINS, J.

This is an original application for habeas corpus, seeking release of relator from the State Juvenile Training School at Gatesville, where he was confined by virtue of judgment and sentence of the district court of Bowie county, finding him to be a delinquent and incorrigible child. The writ was issued, bail granted, and the matter is now before us on its merits.

This is a companion case to that of Morris Gordon, 228 S. W. 1095, and the same questions are presented in both cases. They are identical in that respect; but the original Gordon Case is before us on appeal, together with habeas corpus proceedings, and the Clarence Foster Case was not appealed, but is only presented on habeas corpus proceeding.

Relator contends that he should be released from custody because he says; (1) “The law defining delinquent and incorrigible children is so incongruous and unintelligible in its terms as to render it of such doubtful construction that it cannot be understood and is therefore unenforceable.” (2) “The provisions of the law in reference to the trial and commitment of delinquent children violates the fundamental rights of the accused to a trial by jury, and of being heard by counsel.”

If the foregoing contentions are correct, of course, relator is entitled to the relief sought; but they have all been decided against hisi contention. It would be useless to repeat what has been said heretofore in Re Morris Gordon, 228 S. W. 1095, a companion case, this day decided, both on motion for rehearing and original habeas corpus proceedings. See cases cited in those opinions.

The other questions presented are identical with the ones raised and discussed in the case just referred to. It constitutes a collateral attack on the judgment, there being no appeal in the instant ease, and might be disposed of under the authority of the case of Ex parte Davis, 85 Tex. Cr. R. 218, 211 S. W. 456. But all matters presented have been disposed of in the Gordon Case, to which reference is made.

The relief prayed for is denied, and relator is remanded to the custody of the superintendent of the Juvenile Training School at Gates-ville, Tex,
