a. M, accepted bail in s., 900 and re
leased Anarchist Bauer. His bondsmer
are Emil Beschel and Ernest Keherer
When outside the Jail, Bauer refused
to talk. In the case of Knold,
Judge Magee said there was
evidence that Knold had shown Bers-
man, who shot Mr.. Frick, the location
of the Carnegie offices, and for that rea
son bail would be refused until the ae.
cused had had another hearing, which
was set for next Saturday morn

Knold seemed SO deeply involved
in the plot, that the amount of bal
that would be required in his cast
would be considerably in excess of the
amount required for Baner. Attorney
Friedman says that he is able to pro
cure bail for Knold a soon as the
amount is made known.
