    Ex parte CAMPBELL.
    (No. 3632.)
    (Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    June 9, 1915.)
    Bail <&wkey;52 — Amotjni>-Excessive Bail.
    Where the evidence showed no justification for the homicide, an order fixing the bond of the relator at $750 was not erroneous as requiring excessive bail, though relator’s connection with the evidence was shown only by circumstantial evidence.

    Appeal from District Court, Montgomery County; J. Llewellyn,' Judge.
    Ex parte application by Charlie Campbell to procure the reduction of bail. From a judgment denying relief, relator appeals.
    Affirmed.

   HARPER, J.

On the night of the 5th of last March, John Holland was killed in his room by having his throat cut. The wounds were of the character that indicated he had been cut with a knife and with an axe. The record before us contains no evidence of excuse or justification fo'r the person or persons who committed t-he act. The evidence against relator and Will Tolbert is wholly circumstantial, but we think of that strength and cogency that authorized binding them to await the action of the grand jury. And taking into consideration the character of the offense shown to have been committed by some one, if the circumstances are such as authorized the court to bind relator over to await the action of the grand jury, the bond fixed by the court at $750 is not excessive, and the judgment is affirmed.
