BONE, Circuit Judge
(concurring).
I am in agreement with the views expressed by Judge Mathews. Despite the traditional and historic place in our Federal system of law which the Great Writ occupies, it is more than strange that one hundred and fifty-seven years elapsed (1789-1946) before a Federal appellate court reached the conclusion (and squarely held) that a person under indictment could resort to Habeas Corpus proceedings to secure reduction of bail fixed by a district court.
