Plaintiffs Counsel.
Jerome B. Bell, iitor and proprietor Of
the Sunday Star, against whom libel
suit was instituted by Edgar N. Hopes,
business manager Of the Morning Neios,
for $4,000 damages, was before the
sheriff yesterday week and preferred
bail for his appearance at court. Mr..
Bell was arrested on capias and his bail
bond fixed at S10, 900 by the Prosecution's
counsel, but the counsel for d. FENCE,
Messrs. Bradford & Vandegrift, protested
against this sum on the grounds that 1t
WAS exhorbitant, and a reduction to
$5, 900, just half the original amount, was
effected.
Mr.. Bell appeared before the sheriff
yesterday week prepared to give
bond In the amount stated. The proffered
bondsmen were satisfactory to the sheriff
but the counsel for the prosecution, Will
liam c. Spruanoe and H. G Conrad, Esqs.,
exercised the arbitrary right of refusing
the first bail proffsred without giving the
reason. On Thursday William G.. Gibbons
became Mr.. Bells security.
