Mr.. COHEN AS
A B0NDSMAN.
His Merits Were Discussed
Before Judge Rogers Today.
SURETY NOT SATISFACTORY.
Judge Rogers Made Some Observations as
10 Cohen as a Bondsman.
APPEARED IN MANY CRIMINAL CASES.
Mr.. Cohsn's Counsel Appeared and Makes
Siaisment-Ii SureJ Is Not furnished BY
FRIDAY Case win Be- Dismissed.
Judge Rogers Made Some observations as
10 Cohen as a Bondsman.
APPEARED IN MANY CRIMINAL CASES.

Attorney Herbert Almy came into
Judge Rogers court this morning just
after his honor had finished hearing di-
vorce cases and complained of the
surety furnished by Mr.. Cohen in his
case against Justin NJ. Griggs ct ais.
Judge Rogers sent for H. a. McKen-
ney, counsel for Mr.. Cohen. When Mr..
McKenney reached the court house Mr.
Almy had stepped out and there was
some trouble finding Mr.. Almy. Both
counsel were finally in the court room
at the same time and Mr.. Almy adj
dressing the court said that Mr.. Cohen,
i'm accordance with the orders OF the
court had furnished additional surety
but he. Almy. did not think the surety
so furnished worth much. Mr.. Almy
called Thomas Bently TO the witness
stand.
Mr. Bently is the party Mr.. Cohen had
offered as surety. Mr.. Bently frankly
admitted he was not the possessor Of
much property. First he said his wife
was the only member Of his immediate
family who had money or property.
He found on careful examination OF
some papers that he owned ten lots in
East Providence which he paid S400 for,
and on which there was a mortgage of
$500. He said that these were not the
lots on which the houses that were on
mortgaged property had ben removed
from. The amount Of taxes he paid
on each lot was 20 cents.
Mr. Almy said the surety was not
satisfactory. Judge Rogers remarked
that Mr.. Cohen was a man who had
lot OF experience in giving and acting
as surety. more experience than any
one then in the room having as, his
honor said, been surety in over 100
criminal cases. Mr.. McKenney said he
had trusted to Mr.. Cohen in the matter
and had been told that everything was
all right.
Judge Rogers said he believed Mr..
McKenney but the court was not 10 be
trihei with by Mr.. Charles Cohen or
surety and il must be given within a
few hours.
Mr.. McKenney told the court that Mr..
Cohen's interests as surety were before
he knew him and said the litigation
would probably be settled.
Judge Rogers answered he had no
feeling against Mr.. Cohen but Mr.. Nc
Kenney could not give the gentleman
named any instruction in the matter of
surety. At the suggestion of Mr. Almy
the gentleman who was so much dis
cussed was ordered to give surety by
Friday or his case will be dismissed.
Mr.. Cohen's litigation is over money
loaned for the building OF his new
block on North Main street and he has
a decision OF the appellate court in his
favor on the most important points in
volved.
