be more than suspected that such an

ference lasting over one hour in the

George Middleton, the manager OF a

to schedule S25.oD and to sign Luetgerts
bonds If the noted prisoner would place
himself on exhibition at a salary OF Sa

pressed with the proposition as he be-
lieves it would injure his business In the

No agreement was reached at the con-
ference. States Attorney Deneen viEor-
ously opposed the demand that the
prisoner be released on bail. and the up
shot of the argument was that no formal
demand for the prisoners admission TO
bail was made. Ex-Judge Vincent said
he would let the matter rest for two or
three days and then make formal appli-
cation. He added that any reasonable
bond could be given. Ii was intimated
