The action in the Collom-Blaisdell re-
production of Jim, the Penman," is
decidedly monotonous, consisting main
ly of arraignments in the municipal
court during the day, and some quiet
night scenes in the county jail. The
public would soon lose interest in all
this but for the fact that the some new
developments. which never develop,
are daily promised by those
directly interested in the case.
Wednesday evening at about o'clock,
Collom'S friends having succeeded In
obtaining Sureties in the sum of Sol, 800,
matter brought before Judge Emery,
who approved the bondsmen, Josiah

wood. No sooner were the bonds APP
proved than the state filed three more
complaints alleging the uttering of three
forged notes. Bail in these three cases
was fixed at $4,000, and Attorney
lockwood said he thought the
hmount could be procured at once.
This didn't please Frank Davis,
who said he had more complaints that
could be put in. The defense then de-
termined to leave the matter as it was
until morning. Yesterday morning the
case was called at 1880 in Judge EN-
ery's court, and the state filed twelve
more complaints. The bail as fixed III
these cases, added to the S5l,500
already furnished and the $4,000
fixed in the cases in which COM
plants we're filed Wednesday eve
ming aggregated S87,500. Judge Emery
remanded the prisoner to the county
jail until such time as proper bonds
were furnished for his release, but at
4:3O COLON was again brought into the
municipal court room once more and
eight more complaints were read. Be-
fore the arralgnment, Judge Emery
gave notice that the state had discovered
a duplication in the complaints in the
matter,of two notes amounting to S2,500,
alleged to have been uttered on Apr!
II, and one of the cases was dismissed
the bail being reduced to $4,000. The
eight complaints on which Cullom was
arragned yesterday were as follows:
Forging a three-months' note for $1,000,
May IL; uttering a three-mOnthS' note
for 81 900 on the same date; utteTlng a
fOur-mOnthS' note for $1,000, April IL;
forging a four-monthS' note for 800,
April ~; forging four-monthS' note
for $500, same date; uttering four
months note for $1,000 and one for
$500, same date; also two cases. one
for forging and one for uttering four
months note for $4,000, April IL.
After looking over the note Judge
Emery fixed the bail in the eight cases
at SIS, 600, making the total bail, as the

After the court had adjourned Hon.
E. NJ. Wilson, Collom's attorney, said
as the hour was so late and the number
of complaints so large, that no attempt
would be made last night to secure
sureties, but COLON would undoubt-
edly walk out of the Jail
today. Mr.. Wilson said he con-
sidered that the other side
had gone far beyond prosecution and
had now begun a system of malicious
persecution. II do not refer to Mr..
Nye," said he, 'as he Is a gentleman
and only desires reasonable bail, but
could mention some others connected
with BlaiSdell who have done every
thing in their power to prevent COLON
being released on bail. l expect to be
able to prove the innocence OF this
young man and he has no ldea OF leaV-
ing the country"
Mr.. Nye said he had no desire to per-
secute the defendant. all he waited was
to have the bail fixed high enough to
insure the attendance of the young
man when the time for trial came. II
think it is high enough and no more
complaints will be filed in this court. If
we desire any more counts against him
they will be taken direct to the grand
Jury"
