ORDER
This matter came on for hearing at Clearwater, Florida, October 4, 1972, upon Appellant, Glenn W. Turner’s, Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus or in the alternative for bail pending Appeal. Counsel for the Appellant and the State of Florida, as well as the Appellant, are before the Court.

The Court has examined *395the pleadings and exhibits and received oral argument of counsel.
