Ex Parte Jack David Mcclellan

This is an appeal from an order of the 140th District Court of Lubbock County in a habeas corpus proceeding in which the court continued bail at $50,000.00. Appellant contends this amount is excessive. Appellant was indicted on October 16, 1975, for murder. The indictment alleges that he shot Carla Sue McClellan and Lori Allison McClellan on October 2, 1975. A stipulation was entered into to the effect that an officer would testify that his investigation revealed that appellant committed the homicides. The circumstances of the offense are not shown. There is evidence that the State was willing to recommend a punishment of seven years' confinement.
