B. SHEPHERD WHITE RELEASED.
David Michigan Goes Bail for Him In
the Sum Of OF 600.


Judge Bradley was at the court house this
morning and about noon accepted David Nelii-
gan as bail in the two charges against b.
Shepherd White OF embezzlement and forgery,
81 coo in each case. White is the young society
man who is charged, while in tho employ of
]. H. Corning 4 Co., with having collected
about $500 Of the firms money and forged re-
ceipts for the same. He was arrested in Louis
vile, Ky, July 16 last and committed to Jail for
the action Of the grand jury, the Police Court
fixing his bail at $1,000 IN each of the two cases
against him. Messrs. Chas. Pelham and Chaplin
Brown appeared for the prisoner this morning
and rendered the bail. Mr.. Armes, for the
United States. suggested that there were other
cases to be brought. but the court said they
should act only on those sent here. and ac-
copied bail.
THE OTHER CASES AGAINST WHITE.
As soon as it was learned that White was to be
released on bail Assistant District Attorney
Armes visited police headquarters. where he
saw Detectives Mattingly and Wheeler, who had
charge OF the case. He instructed the
for forgery in the different transactions in con-
nection with the alleged steal from Mr. Corn
ing, but as Ms. Corning is not in the city there
was no one to swear out the warrants. De-
tective Mattingly conferred with Mr.. Nullow-
ney, another one Of the district attorneys as
sistants.
1t was stated for the defense that judge
Hoge had said that 81, 900 was enough to cover
the eases. Mr.. Armes however. is not satisfied
that 81 900 is enough as he thinks that The bail
will have to be forfeited when the case is called
for trial.
ANOTHER WRIT.
Deputy Springman after the action Of Judge
Bradley was at once sent with release for
White to the Jail. Before his return Detective
Mattipgly was instructed to procure a warrant
for his arrest on another similar charge and
Deputy Joyce had a writ in a suit on a judg-
ment for $40 for suit of CASH

and figured necktif. They at once proceeded
