When a man goes bail for another,
criminally charged, does he expect in
any event to meet his obligation on that
bondY This is conundrum of easy
solution, and the records Of the courts
furnish the correct reply. he does not,
if ones intentions are to be arrived at
from review Of the facts. There is alb
solntely dearth of cases where the state
mas ever recovered from bondsmen.
But what can DO done? Shall u mans
property be tied up so he can not dis.
pose Of it If be favors friend with his
name? And would the most Innocent
man be able to give hail if his friends
had to imposea on on their property
in order to betriend him?
These are hard questions, but there is
Il hard issue to meet. At PRESENT man
can go bail and sell out his property or
put it out Of the way Of process in case
OF default on the part OF his principal.
And the history of crime in Texas shows
that to be almost the universal practice.
Is not this almost an equivalent to turn
ing loose any maleiactor who has
iriends7 Yet, what is to be done, again
it is asked? The only possible approach
to remedy the II RAID can suggest is
to require a greater number Of bonds
men and larger margin of qualifica-
ton. The chances Of collec ion would
then be prOportionately greater, but
SUI the system would be faulty and I'M.
