The hearing in the case against Charles
| wales, who Is charged with arson and plac.
| ing the dynamite In Goddard Seminary, was
concluded last Wednesday noon No evil
dence was introduced by the defence, and
| Wales was bound over to await the action
OF the grand jury next September. Bail
was fixed at $1,000, which was furnished by
his father, and the young man was released
from custody. The court has been very
sharply criticised in Barre and elsewhere
| for the very low sum at which the bail was
fixed. The opinion was very forcibly ex-
| pressed to the reporter for the WATCHMAN
by more than one prominent citizen Of
Barre that the amount OF bail is in no way
commensurate with the crime with which
Wales stands charged, and heavily dis
counts the probabilities OF his being found
when wanted.
