Der of curious persons who thought Mr..
Thurman and the bondsmen 10 be the
grand jury on its way to report. Judge
Langley was called out OF his private room
and the work commenced again. Mr.. Al
len said that he understood that Krug's
bonds had been very materially reduced,
and in view of the fact he would
ask that his clients bonds be re-
duced from 5000 to 5000 on each
bill. The prosecuting attorney interposed,
saying that Mr. Allen was mistaken, the
bonds had not been reduced by the Judge
bat by stipulation Of himself and Krug's
attorney. Then Mr.. Allen, Mr.. Miller and
Judge Langley consulted IN whispers

While Mr.. Allen had been talking Sheriff
Wooiery. who was standing by the clerks

sheriff took from his pocket number of
warrants which had not yet been served
upon Thurman and read them 20 the lat
ter. placing him under arrest with due
formality. Then Mr.. Thurman went
back 10 his seat The transaction was
hardly noticed by the bondsmen, who had
no inkling of its meaning. probably.
After the consultation between the
Judge and the two attorneys was at an
end the Judge announced that in three of
the cases against Thurman the bonds
would remain at 5000 each. while In the
other two they would be reduced 10 $4,000
