thousand was required-rape cases
where one thousand was sufficient,
and murder, the Orsinger case, where
bail, he thought at the figure this
was placed, 1t was a practical denial
of a right guaranteed TO every citizen
no matter who he was. Further 1t
was conceded by the state that Glenn
had already gotten back some So, POO
of the money taken. In conclusion
he believed that as there was but one
transaction bail should be taken in
but one case.
Walter Reeves, who is acting on mo-
tion Of States Attorney, as assistant
prosecutor, replied to Senator Dun
can by saying at the outset that this
was a case where there could not be
an election because If through some
! technically one indictment should
fail the state would have nothing left
to stand on. As for the point that
the bail should be reduced he believed
not, as reduction of it would not
tend to have the prisoners here when
the matter was called for hearing. All
they wanted, he said, was chance TO
forfeit their bail ard thus take fine
instead of a conviction and impriSon-
ment.
AS to the amount recovered he said
that Gleim had only got about 5000 in
money and two drafts OF ST, 900 each.
He had gotten judgment for 5000
against them in Indiana but had only
gotten the sum named. Bail should
be fixed at an amount that made 1t
sure that Chase and Campbell would
be here when wanted.
Assistant Prosecutor Trainor fol-
lowed Mr.. Reeves, saying that Judge
Blanchard had not exactly fixed the
bail on his suggestion as Senator DIM
can had stated, but because he knew
better than the sitting judge the facts
and circumstances surrounding the
whole affair.
The States Attorney closed for the
state with the suggestion that these
men could have speedy trial, and
that he wanted the bail at such point
as would insure trial, not merely a
fine.
Senator Duncan replied by stating
that it didn't do to say that these
were bad men, and therefore big
bond should be taken, for some day a
precedent now established, might af-
feet some very good people. Recurring
to the fact that the three indictments
were predicated upon one and the
same transaction, he said bail should
be taken upon one Indictment only,
and in support of that position cited
the action of Judge Frank Baker TAX
ing bail upon one of seven indict-
ments returned by the Cook county
grand jury against TwOmbly, the
Rock Island engineer, in the Engle-
wood disaster, all being based on one
transaction.
Counsel having finished, Judge
SJipp looked at the audience a mo-
ment, then at counsel, and then at
Chase and Campbell. Having settled
himself fairly back in his chair, he
said in substance: The constitution
guarantees that in every criminal case
every person, except in capital ones,
and in some instances in these, shall
be. admitted to bail, and that in no
instance shall the bail be oppressive
and thus be denied. Every man
should at least be given chance, and
in fixing it there should be taken into
consideration the ability of the ac-
cused TO give bail. Every person in
the eyes of the law is presumed to be
innocent of crime until convicted by a
Jury, and every man, no matter what
his station, Is entitled to his conStitu-
tional rights. 1t is true, in this case,
a large sum has been taken. but even
that fact does not warrant the placing
of bail utterly beyond what the law
warrants. The accused say that they
can give but $4,000 each, and their
ability tOgive must be taken into con-

the prosecutor to an election of in

ment or | will distribute it,"
After consultation with Reeves and
TranOr, the States Attorney said
the state desired the bail to be placed
on Numbers 2l0 and 2l1. Judge Stipp
then placed the bail at 81, 900 for each
in the cases indicated.
This makes the total sum at $l6, 600
a sum which Chase and Campbell
claim is beyond them, being ten thOus-
and dollars more than the sum set up
in their affidavit as their limit. Judge
Stipp, before leaving the court room,
stated to the attorneys interested that
he would come down and take bail
whenever they were prepared to give
1t.
The crowd waited around to get
view of the noted prisoners and, hay
ing satisfied their curiosity moved off,
while the sheriff took Chase and Camp
bell back to his hostelry and once more
placed them in their little cells.
