He Declines to Enter a Defense-Bound
 Over to the Superior Court-Other Par
 ties in the Conspiracy to Give Bonds
 for Their Appearance.
 At o'clock yesterday afternoon the con- tinued case of Lawyer Henry r. Hall came up before Judge Studley in the City Court.
 At the hour named, Mir. Arvine speaking for his client MT. Hall, said that he did not propose to introduce any testimony or go through any argument. He would ask that bond be fixed, and the only question is the amount of bonds. Mir. Deming asked Mir. Hotchkiss what bond he desired for the par ties he represents, Messrs. Moulthrop and Dehn and Mrs. Groethe. Pending the re sponse, MT. Arvine ventured suggestion on this point that the State could fix the bond. Mir. Hotchkiss said that none of his clients desired to present any defense. MT. Deming said that he was willing to submit the mat ter of bonds, in all the cases, to the court without argument. The Hall cases, one for perjury and two for subornation of per jury, were named by MT. Deming MT. Hotchkiss then rose to say that Loyal Moul- throp is sixty seven years old, has had much trouble, and while he may have been techni- cally guilty there are circumstances to lessen the operation of the law. His property has all been taken from him. The estate was not insolvent and had it been differently managed the result might have been differ ent. Judge Studley said at this point that he found probable cause against MT. Hall on the three cases and fixed the bond at $1, 800 for the perjury case and $500 each in the other cases.
 George B. Allen, brother of Friend 0. Allen, in whose favor the notorious Allen mortgage was drawn, offered himself as Halls bondsman. The assistant city attorney in- I-- to the qualifications of the bondsmen. MT. Allen was sworn in the clerks office and made statement o1 his financial standing, in substance as fol lows: I own two houses on William street, Wallingferd, one farm with forty acres ot land, one lot on William street, one lot on Church street and one half interest in store and stock kept by myself and brother, Henry B. Included in the property are four horses The only mortgage on any of this is one o1 $500 on one of the William street houses The real estate is worth $6,OOO. I am worth $9 900 above my indebtedness. Mir. Aliens
 bond was accepted.
 In regard to the bonds of the other parties
 Mir. Hotchkiss said that he thought that nc judge in any court, hearing the circumstances
 could be severe with this old man, Mir. Moul throp. He alluded to the other cases anc
 wanted the bonds of Mrs. Groethe and Dehl and Loyal Moulthrop reduced. He though $2OO about right. They are poor people. H' did not want to aid them to evade the penalty but small bond would hold them.
 Mir. Deming responded that the charges are serious and he wanted 8 larger bond which should be commensurate.
 MT. Hotchkiss said that he thought the penalty could not be heavy in any event They told their stories in the City Court ana ! in the Probate Court voluntarily, and he dit | not think there could possibly be Stat 1 prison offense. He wanted the case con l tinued to Saturday with an intimation O | what the bond would be.
 Judge Studley said that he thought $4O( | in each of the cases would be about right l and ordered the continuance until Saturday
