Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Under the provisions of section 5079, Code 1915, a paróte granted a convict in the penitentiary by the prison board may be revoked, and under the statute the superintendent of the penitentiary has the power to retake and reimprison any inmate under parole, when in his judgment the terms of the parole agreement have been violated; and this he may do without notice or hearing, and for any reason which he may deem sufficient. The statute having conferred upon the superintendent of the penitentiary the power to retake and re-imprison any convict so upon parole, his act of revocation is in the exercise of a sole discretion, which is not reviewable by the courts.</p>
