ma Goldman, Is the arch oonspirator
She Is not entitled to any bail under the
circum stances.
After some argument Justice Pr'niville
remanded Miss Goldman without bail.
In the plOading for bail tho woman was
represented by Lawyers Blown. Getting
Lawyer .deoting In pleading for tho
pris oner, said:
'Ths matter must be disposed Of 40
cordiNg to we'll known rules Of law, When
party Is brought In court charged
wi h any criminal otfense, that party has
right to an immediate hearing. Sec
ton Z article Q, OF tine constitution OF I'LL
nois declares that all par ,ons shall be
ballnb's by sufficient sure,ies except for
capital otfense, whole tie proof Is evident
and the presumption great.
Nv hon person is bought into court
on a charge, even though it be II capital
case, u would be baiiuble, unless there
was some evidence given before the court
to show that the proof was evident and
the assumptions great.
Counsel In continuing COMMANDED that
none OF tho constitutional requirements
had been complied with In tho case Of
Miss Goldman.
In deciding the case the Court said:
while this morning l was inclined to
believe that the defendant might be EMIT
led to bail considering the condition that
the President is now in, at that time, Of
course l did not know that there was any
proceeding pending. or that it was going
to be taken to higher court.
or couraa, this present defendant is In
charge, just the same rs all this rest Of
them, She Is charged jointly with than
In conspiracy. the case being taken to
Superior Court.
I do not feel as If should now take
any action which might be contrary to
the decision to be- arrived at by tha upper
court, or that would in any way Influence
tle court IN tho matter tn ere pending.
