Bail for Schroeder Refused.

Yesterday afternoon counsel for George G.,
Schroeder, convicted Tuesday Of false pre-
lenses in connection with fraudulent patent
schemes, moved in the criminal court to release
the defendant upon bail pending decision on
his motion for new trial. The motion WAS
opposed by District Attorney Cole upon the
ground that the court had no authority to
yelease a man on bail after his conviction and
said the law must be administered apart from
considerations Of sympathy. When prisoners
had been released under such circumst stances
they had generally failed to appear, he said.
Judge McComas refused to grant the motion.

could show him that he had authority to make
the order. The presumption OF innocence
