1Opinion of the Court
DAVIDSON, Judge.
Relator was arrested on a charge of incest about the middle of November, 1896, and confined in the county jail of Dallas County. About the middle of March, 1897, he applied for and obtained a writ of habeas corpus for the purpose of reducing his bail, which had been fixed at $750. On the trial of the writ the court reduced the bail to $500, and seems to have placed the defendant on the county poor farm. On April 9th he applied a second time for a writ of habeas corpus, alleging that further confinement would endanger his life, and that he was unable to give any bond whatever.…
