OTHER CHARGES AGAINST HIM.

With the $4,000 bail money in the
hands of his friends, Irwin Gardner con-
tinues to languish at the county jail.
The money is actually in Erwin. & Mead's
safe or some other equally secure place,
and has been for two or three days, but it
seems there is string to it yet. The
money was raised only after much effort.
1t represents much hard work and is said
to be the limit Of the pile that the ad-
ministraticn is willing or able to back up
Gardner with. Gardner was indicted on
four counts and arraigned. on but :, one.
The state, therefore, has the whip hand.
There is nothing to prevent it from NOV
Ing amy one of the three. remaining: in
dictments standing against Gardner and
he would then be in just as bad. a fix as
he is to-day. II free he would have to go
back to Jail and the $4,000 bond would
have to be rearranged with a possibility
that somebody might need it worse in the
meantime. ..~E T.. 49,.
The grand jury will meet again to-mor-
row morning and it is expected will then
present big batch of indictments, in
Guiding bills against many other cogs in
the administration machine. There will
then be the same scurrylng for bail bonds
as before. Rather than take any chances
with Gardner, it is understood that those
in control of his $4,000 have decided to
heard from. Gardner has stood his ten
days confinement without. injury, and he
can stand it for while longer. His friends
realize that bail money is going to be
mighty hard to get from now on; even
harder than heretofore, and are disposed
to make that 200 do the most possible
service. .. &C.,. .s.--.l. ..s... = -.
Gardner IS anxious to get out and ne
still maintains that II given his liberty he
can be of service to the state. He has
several scores to pay off against other
administration men and argues that he
can pay them best with his liberty and an
opportunity to get witnesses in line.
Naturally this is not a pleasing PROPOSE
ton to the administration, and the hold
ing up of his bail money may in part be
traceable to this cause. II Gardner is to

Gardner is losing his :lightheartednes
and is in no good hunor over the way his
affairs are loafing along. AT the time of
his sentence his: attorney gave notice of
motion for a new trial. 1t was under
stood that the stay of execution would be
fixed when the bond was filed and the
other necessary legal steps had been
taken. .r g - - " "-i.- -
Gardner has a room on the top tier in
the insane ward of the Jail. While no writ
of commitment has yet been issued 1t
cannot be long before Judge Harrison will
take some action. In other words, unless
bail is deposited in day or two Gardner
will be bound for Saltwater in charge of
a deputy sheriff to begin his term of six
years. --... -. ....-.-.- -... -.
George Harvey may be in as bad a
predicament tomorrow as before being
released. IT indicted, it rests with the
court whether the present bonds are &C
cepted or new bond for an additional
amount required of him. -: .s2ss:'rr5
