His Bond Was Made 81 900 Instead of
$4,000, as the Judge Ordered.

The detective department has been asked
to rearrest William Moffitt, the white ghoul,
who was released from Jail Wednesday
night. Moffitt, when arraigned Wednesday
morning, was bound over TO the grand jury
in the sum of 5000. Late Wednesday
young man of good appearance called at
the jail and asked Moffitt to affix his sigma
ture to the bond. The young man called at
the city clerks Office snd tanded a bond
of $1,000 from the Federal Union Surety
Company to Deputy Clerk Kaiser. The
latter, without scrutinizing the bond, ac-
cepted it and gave the young man the
necessary papers for Moffftt's release. He
was let out of the Jail Immediately by
Jailer Kurtz. The mistake in the bond
was not learned until yesterday morning:
Acting Judge William Reagan. who fixed
the bond for Moffitt, when apprised of the
error, Immediately began an investigation.
When he learned that Moffitt had been
turned loose on the 81, 900 bond he immedi-
ately ordered his rearrest. Judge Reagan
asked what right anyone had TO reduce
the bond when he had made it 5000.
Prosecutor Collins was much incensed
yesterday when he learned that Moffltt had
been given his liberty on such light bond.
1t is said by members of the detective de-
partment that Moffitt is considered a
tensive operations in robbing graves 1T is
thought that he would be able TO give a
great deal of valuable testimony before the
grand jury. Now that he is at liberty
every effort will be made to secure his re-
arrest.
The young man who brought the bond to
the city clerks office is not known by the
attaches of the office or at the jail. At
the office of the Federal Union Surety
Company the names of the men who went
on Months bond could not be learned. The
names of Z. M. Johnson, secretary, and
Hugh Dougherty, president of the Federal
Union Surety Company, were signed to
the bond.
Detectives Asch and Manning, when they
learned of the release of Moffitt, went at
once to locate him. Moffltt was not at his
home in North Indianapolis and il is said
that he did not go there after he was re-
leased from the Jail. 1t is thought that
he has left the city.
II was said yesterday that the release
of Mofiitt is part of a conspiracy to frus-
trate the courts in securing convictions
against the white ghouls. Moffitt acknowl-
edged that he had been in the grave rob-
bing business for thirty years and had made
considerable money out of it. 1t is said
that If he were allowed to remain in Jail
he might disclose something that would
incriminate others not yet suspected.

In the breach of promise case Of
Hattie Morgan vs. Thomas Lund, the
defendant has, through his attorney,
filed a motion to strike from the COM
plant large number of paragraphs
and allegations therein contained on the
ground that the same were irrelevant.
These paragraphs were the parts of
the complaint alleging the financial
damage claimed to have been done to
the plaintiff, Hattie Morgan, by the
breach of promise of marriage. He
also moved to strike from the complaint
that part of it in which Miss Morgan
claims that she was "disgraced, dis
honored and Inundated in the estima-
ton of her friends, and her prospects of
future marriage destroyed and her life
made miserable"
The peculiar case of the State VS..
Parker, pending before Justice of the
Peace MacCrimmon for the last two
weeks, and which was set for trial before
jury on Friday morning, was amicably
settled just before the trial.
Parker, it will be remembered, is a
horse-shoer who has claimed his right
to shoe horses without complying with
the state law. Mr.. II. j. Snively, the
attorney for Parker, stated this morning
to a reporter of THE HERALD that the case
was settled satisfactorily to all parties
concerned.
| Mr.. Snively said that it was not nee
essary to assail the constitutionality Of
the law in order to successfully defend
Parker, for the reason that this law does
not apply to Parker, he having been a
horse-shoer prior to its enactment. This
gave him vested right in his trade,
which could not be taken away from
him by an act of the legislature.
Mr.. Snively refused to say whether or
not, in his judgment, the law was I'M
constitutional, but said that no doubt
that question would some time be tested,
and that it was an open question with
more or less doubt as to the final result
of its determination.
| Parker will continue the business of
horse-shoeing in North Yakima.
