THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1s99

a defendant must furnish larger bail
special cause must be shown. The law
Is very clear as TO the causes that
should induce a court or Judge to iu-
crease the amount of bail required from
a defendant in a case of this nature,
"Where special damages are averre1
in such a case as that an increase Of
bail may be made, and also where the
alleged libel is of a gross character,
even i'm the absence of special damages
being alleged, the court would have a
right to require an increase of bail.
whichever of these two Principles are
invoked in this case IL is sufficient to
state that there is averment here OF
special damages of such a large amount
as would entitle the plaintiff to an
increase of bail more than the ordinary
amount.
There is n constitutional provision
that the bail must not be excessive.
Taking this into consideration, and
also the character of the libel, ] think
that under the circumstance bail in the
sum OF two thousand dollars would he
reasonable in this case, and reasonable
because of the constitutional provision,
and an order will be made that each
of the defendants be held in the sum of
two thousand dollars bail"

where do we enter bal?' asked
| O'Toole as soon as the judge had con-

"In the sheriff's Office" replied At

the chamber. followed by his two

In the corridor they were Joined by
| ex-Mayor Fellows, who was waiting to
go their bail, and the quartette pro-
ceeded to the sherlff's office.
| They feared some trap would be
| sprung suddenly that would land them
in Jail and when they reached the
sheriff's office they were amazed to
learn that capias was not waiting
for them. They could not understand
it and were consequently suspicious.
They imagined things. The policy of
allowing the law to take its course in
a proper and dlgnified way they could
not quite comprehend.
| "Well, we want to enter bail" said
| Attorney Holgate. Were here for
that purpose and we want to enter
bail now and save trouble afterwards" b"
There will be no trouble of any
kind" replied Deputy Sheriff Ryan,
who is in charge of the office during
the absence of Sheriff Pryor from the
city. "A capias for these men has not
yet been placed in our hands and
therefore we don't want them and re-
quire no bail from them. When the
capias reaches us through the proper
channels we will notify your clients
and they can come in and enter bail
That is the custom we follow in such
cases"
Aren't you afraid We'll run away?'
Cueried Little.
Not a Bit" replied the deputy. "Ii
you did we'd bring you back. so we
are not worrying on that score"
Little and O'Toole thereupon left the
office. In the afternoon the capias fol
