than five hours.

was assessed at $4,000 by Judge Lump.
kin, of the superior court. The bond was
signed by Judge Henry II. Hillyer, Cas-
sins father INLAY. After Cassin was re-
leased upon the bond he was re-arrested
at the suggestion of Solicitor General
Hill, who took the position that Judge
Hillycr was not good bondsmun, us he
was an attornev-at law and consequently
an officer of the court. The bond was
then signed by +. NJ Coker, president of
a private bank of the city.
Young Cassin refused to make any
statement in regard to his shortage and
declines to throw any light on the stua.

President Gress us soon as he was ex-
cused from the grand jury room left the
city. AT the bank it was stated that he
was away on business connected with the

departure of President Gress ut this crit
ical period of the Investigation has given
rise to many rumors about the city.
