That's the Sum Capt. HOwgate Must
Give aS Bond or go to Jail.

Two o'clock to-day was the hour set foi
the hearing before United States Commits.
sioner c. S. Bundy of the application for
bail of Capt. Henry w. Howgatc, held by
the marshal under u warrant charging him
with embezzlement. The respective coun.
sci, Mr.. w. A. Cook for the Government
and Shellabarger & Wilson and Judge
Cuppy for the accused, were engaged during
the morning in discussion as to the
amount of bail to be fixed.
At the hour named the accused appeared
in court, accompanied by and leaning upon
the arm of Deputy Marshal Williams, and
looking very feeble. Mr.. jeremiah NJ. vii.
son appeared for the accused, with Judge
Cuppy as assistant counsel, and Mr.. w. A.
Cook was present fol the Government.
Mr.. Wilson said they were here to offer a
reasonable amount of bail, and as the Court
was not ready to go on with the case, he
suggested that bail be fixed. His client
was very feeble and should be in bed.
Mr.. Cook said the Government regards
the case rs one of great Importance. He
stated that the testimony consisted chiefly
of records, some of whsch could be procured
tomorrow. The alleged embezzlement was
at present $40 900, and he was authorized to
say that it would exceed that amount.
1t had been suggested that the bail bond
have been cmbezzled. He suggested $50, 600
and while this amount might be considered
large, it must be recollected that the offense
was great, and the amount embezzled
large.
Judge Cuppy said that the true standard
was to fix an amount which would secure
the attendance of the accused when he was
wanted, and not according to the amount
alleged to have been embezzled
Judge Cuppy quoted the case of Ottman
as one in point, and he contended that in
oficnses equally great bail had been fixed
from $1,000 to $4,000.
Mr. Wilson said that the fact that Gen.
Hazcn had made the information should
have no effect on the fixing of bail. He
suggested that the minimum sum named
($5,000) would be ample to secure the at
tendance of the accused, and that was all
that was required.
Col. Cook contended that in this case
there had been grave violation of an i'm
portant trust, and the bond should be
sufficient to lake the interests of the
Government safe. The accused is a man
of wealth, and the bail cannot be excessive
If he is fully able to give it, The principle
of bail is that it should be in reference to
the crime charged, and then as to the ca
pacity of the accused to give it,
Commissioner Bundy read the section of
the Revised Statutes under which the ac-
cused is held, and he said he had thought on
the subject and he would fix the bail accord
ing to what would be the term of imprison-
ment Under the statutes this was ten
years and the amount embezzled, and he
therefore fixed the bond at $4,000
AT the request of counsel for accused the
Court directed that he be permitted to re-
main in the custody of the marshal until
Saturday, to which time the case was con-
tinued, and in the meantime there will be
q consultation as to the bail,
