shocked when Marshal Ireland spoke Of
$4,000 bonds. Mr.. Rawlins and Attor-
ney Richards each made brief speech,
denunciatory of the exorbitant sum, and
Mr.. Richards remarked to the Judge that
il the question OF Cannon's ability TO fur
nish heavy bond must figure in the
question he thought it would be just as
as well TO put the amount at $250,000 oil
100000. The Judge, however, held tc
his conclusion, and John Sharp and Fera-
morz Little became the suretes.
During the discussion Mr.. Dickson adj
vanced the proposition that in view oi
the fact that Cannon was q naturalized
and not a native-born citizen, there was
additional reason why the bond should
be heavy. To this the attorneys OBJ
jected in very emphatic way, MIR.
Richards going SO far as TO challenge the
prosecuting attorney TO point to single
precedent in law to sustain the position.
The arguments, particularly Of Mr.. Raw
Inns, were very ably made, and Dickson's
appeal to the Court for substantial bail
was also powerful and eloquent
Commissioner Critchelow shortly after
ward arrived, and the remaining two
cases were disposed OF before him. Mr..
Richards and Prosecuting Attorney Dick
son having agreed upon the amount OF
$4,000 in each case, before his arrival.
On these last bonds, Francis Armstrong
and II. s. Eldredge became the sureties.
The trial was set for March 18th.
After these proceedings, which alto
gether lasted nearly two hours, Mr.. Can
non was conveyed to carriage, which
had been in waiting, and after being com.
fortably fixed in the seat, was driven off
to his home Zone of them) over Jordan,
accompanied by his son and Marshal
Phillips, who rode beside the driver.I
A number of policemen and other city
officials, with few friends made up quite
a cortege, that followed the distinguished
Apostle to his home.
Before he left the courtroom his face
became more exposed, and it was easy to
see that one eye was fearfully swollen and
temporarily sightless, while long, ugly
wound, which may have been only super
fetal, disfgured the left side OF his face
and appeared to still be bleeding.
INCIDENTS.
When Captain Greenman found Cam
non after his jump from the train, he was
Notwithstanding sight, literally covered
with blood down his face and shirt front,
and looked like Bingham miner after
going through the hands of the Salt Lake
police.
Cannon stated to Deputy Greenman
that he had been standing out on the
platform for fresh air, and was hurled off
the train by the sudden curving of the
cars.
When dressing Cannon's bruises at
Promontory, Captain Greenman found in
the apostles overcoat pocket Colts six
shooting revolver, 3S-calibre, with every
chamber loaded.
The two loaves OF bread and the bottle
of water found in Cannon's coat pocket
will prove strong circumstantial evidence
against the FEASIBILITY of his having
fallen off the train.
On the way down from Promontory
Alonzo Z. Hyde approached Marshal Ire
land and SAID "Mr. Cannon doesn't re-
member anything subsequent to his being
on the platform" From the manner of
expression the Marshal thought scheme
was being devised to make it appear that
Cannon had been pushed off by some one.
A very good authority states that Geo.
q. Bywater was deputized to take fiat
Cannon's Jordan residence last week,
ostensibly to get gravel, and that there
he loaded on the Apostle and conveyed
him to some point north.
One story told in accounting for the
presence OF the bread and water in Can
mons pockets is that he often partook of
the sacrament while travelling. Another
version is that he constantly used homeo-
pathic medicines, and had dissolved some
of this in the bottle of water which was
found in his pocket. An examination of
this water, which is preserved intact,
failed to show any evidences OF contain
ing medicine of any kind, and tasting it
resulted in similar failure.
