A warrant was Immediately issued and
given 70 Constable Terry King. He found
Ross and Phifbrick in Harris Office. where
they were resting from the frultless search
for bondsmen. King informed Ross Of his
errand and read the warrant.
Detective phiIbrick surrendered Ross
into the hands of Constable King and re.
tired. As soon as possible Ross and his
attorney appeared before Justice Caldwell
20 meet the state on the question Of bonds
and 20 set the time for preliminary hear
ina. Acting Prosecuting Attorney Bogue
asked that the bonds be placed at so. coo,
but Attorney John Il. Hart objected 70 the
amount, and made good use OF Ross vol.

He desired 10 have the bond placed at not
more than 81 600.
W. ii. White. who il assisting the pros
eeution in the matter. said that he wanted

appearance. bat left II an open question as
to the amount
Justice Caldwell took the matter under
consideration for few moments, and then
announced that he would accept $i2, 500

them. lie was Questioned closely by
Prosecutor Rogue as TO the actual amount
Of property he had over membranes aud

Baxter's property. He returned TO the
court room q short time after Mr. Baxter
had gone and told Attorney Hart he
would not accept Mr.. Baxter as surety un.
less Mrs. Baxter joined in the bond. This
made Mr.. Hart angry and he told the las
