court held the other anarchists till to-
morrow. when he said he would hear
arguments in the application for writs
of habeas corpus. After this was re-
ported to Justice Prindiville he deter
mined to hold the prisoner without
bail until Judge Chetlain decided. In
opposing this counsel for Miss Gold

tanned lawyers) stated that the law
would require you now to make nit

statement of the law. but the court
held the prisoner without bail. all the
