“i think the or ginni bond is suili-

erris.‘ "lie lids really committed no
great crime. inasmuch as no violence
was used or any unnecessary means
resorted to. in taking the money. pro-
viding that he is one of a party who
did rob the ticket agent."

“There is a possible chance for the
prisoner to raise a bond of $1,000. but it
is hardly probable that-he could pro-
cure an extra $500. . i think that under
these conditions. he should be given a
chance. and not be compelled to be con-
iinéd until May. Herc‘ls a man. who
has neverxheen before a court in this
state. so far as known. and there is no
reason why a bond of 81.000 should not
be sumolsnt tor a crime of this nature.
in my opinion it is excessive."

The reason i collector the bond to
heroism." said the prosecuting attor-
ney. “in that i took the record oi the
man. into consideration. i think that
it it is placed at 81.600, it will not be
iori’elbsd."

During the recital of the above
words. Nodre‘s eyes were riveted on
Judge Frost‘s tare. When he learned
that the bond had been rolled. his eyes
dropped. be lowered his head. and with
his chin in his hand. out in deep
thought. He did not make any emotion
