Friends were allowed to talk with the
prisoners. and the question OF bonds was
again brought UP. All were living in hopes
that they would not have TO spend another
night on a cot IN cells.

admitted 70 see uufke. Eyermann assured

and declared that a bond would be fur
nished before night. Hsnnissn wss pleased
and the worried look left his face.
Helms. Schnettler ard Schumacher were
also told that every effort would be made
TO get them out on bail. Thus Informed.
the prisoners took their seats on the north
side Of the jail near the dungeon door.
Helms leaned against the jail organ. while
the others lined themselves up along the
bookcase. Once in awhile they would take
out book. scan Its pages nervously and
put It back. They were in no mood for
reading literature.
Edmund Bersch, seemingly rot fearing
that he would bs arrested again while in
side the jail. visited the prisoners in the
afternoon. He gave them the latest news
only q member OF the combine could.
and although lie talked chserfully was un-
able to lift the prevailing gloom.
About $50 q Deputy Sheriff was admitted
to the jail, sent to bring Hannigan out. His
friend. Matt Sullivan. had kept his word,
three other men having consented to sign
the bond for $4,000 The remaining four
looked longingly at Hannigan as he disap-
peared from the jail. each hoping that he
would be the next to be summoned into
court to give bail.
Schnettler was much interested in the
case OF a boy "A years old, who was a fei-
low prisoner yesterday morning. Harry

him in Jail and took data on the case While
