Chris Wall the young man who welded
,he piece of gas pipe which so nearly took
.he life of Beech Maxey appeared before
Magistrate Mapes yesterday and gave
notice that he would waive preliminary
whenever it was called up
The Magistrate thereupon decided to fix |
his bond for appearance at the circuit |
court at 5000, Maxey being now con
sidered out of all danger of death from his |
INJURIES it was not thought necessary to |
place his bonds at a higher figure. The |
charge under which Wall is thus held to |
pail is assault with intent to commit bodily |
injury. Judge Gould the signer of Walls |
$500 bond is at present in Chicago, until |
ne returns that bond will be allowed to |
stand afterwards the new 5000 bond will |
be made and the original one annulled |
Had not the examination bees waived it |
could have been held for some time yet as |
leither Frank Wall nor Maxey are recov-
.ring very rapidly.
