Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals

Application of A.B. Wright for writ of habeas corpus. Writ denied.

Holding & Herr, for petitioner.

John H. Venable, Co. Atty. and Allen K. Swan, Asst. Co. Atty., for the State.

PER CURIAM. The petitioner, A.B. Wright, represents that he is restrained of his liberty and unlawfully imprisoned in the county jail of Grady county by Hodge Bailey sheriff of said county. The petition alleges in substance that said sheriff holds said petitioner under a commitment issued by R.E. Davenport as judge of the county court of said county after an examining trial wherein petitioner was held to answer for the crime of rape.

It is further averred that the evidence introduced at said trial did not warrant the conclusion that there was probable cause for believing that a crime had been committed as alleged in the complaint, or sufficient to show probable cause that the defendant was guilty thereof.
