sheriff. He has never left the city and has no
such intention. 1t is said that he has been at

accepted. The sheriff's attaches express the
belief that the sureties will be entirely settled
tomorrow. 1t is stated that each signer of the
bail bond is responsible for the whole amount

of Terrence Farley and others.
