This holding was afterwards concurred in by the Court of Criminal Appeals, that court receding from the former holding of a majority of its members upon the question, from which former holding Presiding Judge Davidson had *108 dissented. Lyle v. State, 80 Texas Criminal, 606; 193 S. W., 680.
The decision in Ex Parte Mitchell controls the case, and accord- . ingly the judgments of the Court of Civil Appeals and District Court are reversed and judgment is here rendered for the plaintiffs in error.
