OF the plaintiffs II the defendants have been guilty
Of the acts alleged In the complaint in this

rest was granted the plaintiffs have somc security in
these bonds This Is fact which, think, ought to
be taken into consideration in determining whether
the bail shall bc reduced. have gone over the papers
presented on this motion carefully possible, and
as some OF tho most serious allegations tained in
