Deputy Sheriff Maner received the COM

County Jail. The Sheriff has fifteen days
TO deliver Moschell In State Prison.
A prominent lawyer told me that It WIS
extremely doubtful now, IL MoscheH
could be released on bail. even IL he and
his convicted friends should appeal to the
Court or Errors. for Moscheu began ac-
tually to serve time as soon as the COM
mitment was handed the Sheriff
Even II he is entitled to give bail, !"
this legal gentleman declared, sthere Is
great doubt about the proper court TO re-
ceive IL In my opinion only the
Supreme Court can accept bail In Mos
chell's case It Is different with the
other ballot box suffers, for they have
not been surrendered, and their bonds
may be continued"
