being a capable bondsman. He said
be was the owner Of real estate that
would aggregate in value between
5000 aud $4,000, the property being

lila owned no other real estate, and
what he had is not incumbered. AS to
his means OF support, he got rents
amounting TO S45 per month, in addition
10 which ne gets $50 month aud board
for attending to his mothers property.
MIR. Boyce asserted that Emblem was
4 good and sufficient bondsman, as had
been decided by the criminal court,
worth $500, all the law requires, The
bonds for these women would aggregate
but $1,000 Concluding, Mr.. Boyce
said: ave offer him In these cases as
our bondsman."
At this point there was considerable
disputa az to Mr.. Emblen's capacity as
bondsman, INDUCED in by Messrs. Post
and Boyce and the Justice, at the close
Of which the latter said that while not
wishing to be arbitrary, no would have
TO refuse to accept Mr.. Emblem as bonds
man in the cases under consideration.
that's all there isabout 1t, said Mr..
Boyco,
The women who had offered Emblem
as bondsman were then committed,
A HADEAs CORPUS WRIT.
Squire Arkle had scarcely announced
bis decision when s. o. Boyce, attorney
for the women, applied to Judge Jor.
dan for writ Of habeas corpus, alleg.
Ing that they were illegally held, as
they had offered good and sufficient
bail and it had been refused.
Shortly after 4 o'clock the women
fled into court, and verbal answer
was made that the prisoners were held
BY virtue OF writs OF commitment made
BY George Ankle, a justice OF the peace.
The commitments had not yet been
written out.
Nj. Boycc stated the facts as to the
proceedings before the justice and the
Judge examined Mr.. Emblem as to his
possessions and sufticiency as abonds-
man.
Mr.. Howard then objected to tho ac-
ceptance Of Emblem. lie held that the
court had no Jurisdiction on such a
writ to inquire into the sufiiciency OF
bOndsman. He argued on this line for
some time.
Judge Jordan took occasion to say
that no just criticism could be mado OF
Squire Ankle or Mr.. Howard. He under
stood Mr., Howard had advised the
course pursued by tho squire. This was
his right and duty, and the squire was
right 10 abide by his advice. He init
mated, however, that he thought ths
bOndsman offered was good.
Mr.. Boyce arose to speak to the prop
ositiOn, when Mr.. Howard asked time
TIL 1880 p. IN. to look up authorities.
Mr.. Boyce proceeded, when Mr.. How.
trd took his hat and loft, remarking:
III / can be granted the right to be
heard at 1880, | will be here to speak
to the proposition"
Judge Jordan said he would hear
him, in spite OF Mr.. Boyce's protest,
and tho women were remanded to jail
till the hour named.
SOME WARM PASSAGES.
In tho course Of the discussion the
Judge took occasion to respond to a re-
mark OF Mr.. Towards to the effect that
Emblem was practically an accomplish
OF tho women, and to accept him as bail
was 10 aid and abet the crime.
Said Judge Jordan: ~ think there
isplenty Of law in this statute to pun
ish any person guilty Of crime, and If
these indictments are good / will guar
antee that this court will make the PEN
atty sufficient TO enforce the law"
Last evening upon reassembling the
court room quickly filled up with peo-
pie who had heard that the proceedings
were on. Mr.. Howard moved to dis
miss the writ, as not sufficient. The
court held that 1t was all right, and Mr..
Howard read from decision OF the
supreme court Of appeala to show that
Ms position was correct. The argument
g99t pretty warm at times. and once Mr..
howard said that he had been told that
LLmolOn was saying on the outside that
me Judge stood in" with him, and
would accept him as bail whenever he
was offered.
Judge Jordan called Mr. Howard
down sharply for this remark, and Mr..
howard soon desisted. The court then
UCcld9d that Emblem should DO nc.
syrted us bondsman, and the rBcog-
nhanGes Of all thlrleenlof tho women
ana oil Emblem for each woro taken, aud
we prisoners wore released.
!, MI Howard then saidi "Will your
