BELCHER, Commissioner.
Appellant is charged by indictment with the murder with malice of Woodie Johnson. After presentation of the indictment, the court without a hearing set the bond at $7,000. Thereafter, on a hearing under a writ of habeas corpus, the court refused to reduce the amount of bail.
The contention is that the bail of $7,000 is excessive. The only evidence introduced by the state on the hearing was the indictment and capias issued thereon.
