MIR. CANNON'S BONDS.

When the polygamous Apostle George
Q. Cannon was arrested a short while
back, and required to give bonds in the
sum of $45,0 900 for his appearance when
wanted in the Grand Jury room and in
the District Court, great howl went up
from the Mormon press about excessive
bail, I" and the action of the Judge and
the Commissioner who held that bonds in
the amount named would have to be
given before Cannon could be released,
was characterized as wanton disregard
OF all precedent in such cases and gross
outrage upon the rights of the defendant
1t was urged that the offenses
with which Mr.. Cannon stood charged
were simple misdemeanors, and no rea-
son existed why bonds in excess of the
amount eXacted in other cases where
mlsdemeanors were charged, should be
exacted from this defendant. The Dis
trict Attorney, the Judge and the Com
missioner, however, were under the i'm
preston that very good reasons existed
why heavy bail should be required in the
case, and the sequel proves that their
judgment was not at fault.
Street rumor now has it that whenever
an attempt shall be made to collect from
Cannon's bondsmen the amounts for
which they became sureties, vigorous
fight will be made by those gentlemen to
worm out of the responsibility, in part
at least, and in the legal fight the point
of excessive bail' will be made to cut
prominent figure. The rumor is given
for what it is worth, but the fact that
cases are rare indeed where matters of
this kind are settled without a fight, leads
to the belief that this will be no excep-
tion to what has become almost rule.
OF course, this is something the court
will have to decide, if fight of repuda-
ton shall be entered upon, but in the
meantime, those gentlement who are
offering to bet that the amounts cannot
be collected, should remember that the
bonds were approved by two of the |
ablest lawyers to be found within the
Territory, and it does not show good bet
ting sense, unless fortified by the opin-
ions of equally eminent attorneys, for
men who have little or no knowledge of
The discretion which the law vests in
Judges and Commissioners in the mat
Ter OF admitting persons to bail, to set up |,
heir judgment against that of men
earned in all the intricacies of the law
Ind back their judgment with money,
too.
As to the matter of Excessive bail"
Is remarked above, the Judge, Commits
oner and District Attorney have, we. i
think, as the matter now stands, got
title the best of the bargain, for the very
act that MIR. Cannon stood not upon the
rider of his going, but, Notwithstanding
lis bonds, went at the earliest possible
moment, and is now probably crossing
he ocean on his way to Liverpool, is
strong argument to advance against
he theory of excessive bail" 1t was
ot excessive" enough to hold Mr. Can
on, anyhow, and Mr.. Dickson probably
ow regrets that he did not exact the $780,
90 bonds which the missing Apostles
ttorney intimated he could furnish lust
5 easily as any sum under that
The case will be an interesting one if it
taken into court, and that it will be,
limits of little doubt.
