The Taking of Bail After Conviction

The Taking of Bail After Conviction
Yesterday afternoon in the Criminal Court
VIM. b. Moore alias BrookeF Moore was con-
victed of the grand larceny of an overcoat from
John g. Staffel obtained from the coat room Of
Excers on Sth and L sts., March IL. by means
of forged check. This morning Mr.. Caring
ton, who defended the prisoner, asked that
the court fix bail for his appearance for sen-
tence. He did this at the request of the father
Of the prisoner and stated that the bail was
good.
Assistant District Attorney Coyle said that
bail had been taken in some cases after con-
viction, but it was not good practice, for in
several cases the accused had failed to respond.
Judge Bradley remarked that there was no
exceptions taken during the trial and no motion
had beon filed. He thought it would not be
advisable to admit to bail TO appear for sen-
tence unless it should appear that gross hard
ship would result by refusal and in the absence
of any motion for new trial exceptions he
would overrule the motion.
Dir. Darlington said that he proposed to file
a motion for a new trial to show that the value
of the coat made it a case of petit larceny
and not grand larceny.
