Dollar Bond Tor His Appearance.
| The releasing on a $50 bail bond of
John Henry Leary, colored, by Justice
Tomlin in the Police Court yesterday
was the cause of considerable adverse
criticism among the policemen. The ar
rest Of Leary by Officers Caprio and
West In the house No. 20 Cumberland
street Saturday night was fully re-
ported in Sundays Virglnian- Pilot. The
feeling against Leary Saturday night
was so strong that Chief Kizer deemed
1t advisable to remove Leary from the
! stntion-h house to the Jail. Accordingly
he had City Sergeant Lawler awakened
| during the night and Leary was quietly
| removed to the Jail.
The police officers were sure that they
had In Leary one of the band of as
saulters. and they believed that he was
caught in the act. But developments in
the brief hearing before Justice Tomlin
| yesterday were OF such q nature that
the Justice believed that he was justi-
fed In releasing him until this morning
! on a $50 bond.
When the prisoners case was called
the Justice was requested by the police
| TO commit Leary for ten days, saying
that they wanted further time, as they
| could probably iix the guilt for some Of
the assaults upon him. Mr.. H. p.
Embury. contractor of No. GA Church
| street, appeared in defense of Leary
and after statement made by him, the
negro was bailed as above stated Mr.
Embury said Leary had been employed
by him for ten years and that he had
Always acted in an upright manner. He
