TRIAL OF THOMAS o'NBAL.
The case of the People VS.. Thomas
O'Neal, held to answer TO the charge OF
voluntary manslaughter, the victim being
George Roundy, was called up before
United States Commissioner Hayt on
] thursday at II am. The small room in
which the hearing was held was crowded
with eager seekers after sensational de-
velopments, who were, needless to say,
very much disan pointed.
The prisoner, Thomas O'Neal, looked
under existing circumstances, very cool
and collected and did not appear TO appre-
clate the fact that ne was held on such an
otfense as to make even deprived men
shudoer. He gaze6 at the audience and
Commissioner Hayt and the attor-
neys in an Indifferent way, and
did not once appear to thoroughly under
stand the enormity of his crime. The pros
and the defendant by S. A. Parshley and
Judge Henry Shields. During the reading
of the complaint by Mr.. Snyder, charging
him with voluntary manslaughter, the
prisoner did not show any emotion what
ever.
After the reading of the complaint, Judge
Shields, in behalf of his client, answered
mot guilty." and waived further eXamina-
ton. The judge then began his argument
for the defendant, and during his remarks
quoted from the authoriti, 8, restricting the
full penalty, and further said, THAT in
view of existing circumstances, he thought
that 81, 900 bonds would be entirely amplen
Attorney Parshley then made an address,
in which he advocated that amount being
admitted as bail, and said, during his re
marks, THAT the charitable mantle of the
law would fully sustain the action.''
Prosecuting Attorney Snyder said that he
thought that s., 900 as bond is entirely
too small, and that it should be made at
least $4,000. In cases of wiful murder the
bonds would be liked at from $1,000 to
$50, 600
AS far as furnishing bonds is con-
cerned, according TO the amount that the
person may be able to give. it is entirely
unnecessary to add that that had nothing
TO do with law.
Concluding his address, he said: "In
fact, L think 80 600 is suitable sum-
The commissioner, at the conclusion of
the argument, said. after quoting the pen
atty for manslaughter, that bonds in the
sum of 81, 600 was entirely too low.n He,
therefore, bound the defendant over to
await the action of the grand jury in the
sum OF &, 000.
