MANY WORTHLESS BAIL BONDS.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY PHILBIN MAKING AN
EFFORT To PREVENT THEIR
ACCEPTANCE.

II District Attorney Phtbtn can bring it about he
proposes TO effect radical reforms in the acceptance
OF bonds by the police court magistrates for pris-
oners brought into their courts Yesterday morn
ing he sent letter this question to each OF the
magistrates. He calls their attention 70 the fact
that during the year 1890 ~ bonds from their
courts were found by MS Office 20 have been utterly
worthless when an effort was made 20 collect them
upon forfeiture. Up 70 to-day there are two hun
dred cases 0t this kind in hts Office.
Mr. Philbin suggests that not less than forty
eight hours should be taken for investigation ot
the bonds offered before the magistrate accepts
them. unless ne personally knows that the bond Is
valid He calls attention TO what is known in the
District Attorneys office the black list, which
Is made OF names Of men who have in former cases
either 0runered worthless bonds or by immediate
subsequent transfers OF the properties offered FOR
security rendered themselves not liable for the
bonds IL action brought against them. Mr.
Phibfu thinks much trouble De avoided IL the
court clerks keep this black list well in mind and
absolutely decline the bond OF any il.
The District Attorney says the present system OF
accepting almost any bond offered by any body is a
farce. and tends TO bring the law into dsrepute.
He says there large number OF professional
bOndsmen, making large sums by giving worthless
bonds. Their commission Is usually 800 every
