CLERK MAHONY
FURNISHES BAIL
Surrenders Himself Into Gus
tody and Goes Through
Formality of Being Released
HE HAD TIME TO FLEE
Bench Warrant Was Not Is
sued Until After He Appeared
in Court and Gave Bond

County Clerk Albert B. Mahony is
charge of felony. Accompanied by his
mother and his sister-in-laW, Mrs Har-
ry Mahony, the indicted official visited
Presiding Superior Judge Murasky's S
court yesterday morning, and the two
women were accepted as his sureties in
the bail suggested by District Attorney
Byington. Then the formality of issu-
ing an order of arrest and releasing him
was gone through, and Mahony was
in full enjoyment of the personal lib
erty of which he had not been deprived.
The indictment against Mahony was
returned about o'clock Wednesday
afternoon and presented to Judge Mu-
rasky, and at the request Of the Dis
trict Attorney the Judge fixed the bail
at $4,000. But no warrant was issued.
and if Mahony had known OF his in
dictment and had desired to elude it's
consequences he had all night to devote
TO fulfllment of that desire. When
questioned on this point yesterday
Judge Murasky said that if the Dis
trict Attorney had regarded the case as
one demanding immediate action he
would probably have asked that a
bench warrant be issued and served as
soon as possible; or he might have done
so if he had known that the morning
newspapers We're aware of the indict-
ment and intended to publish it.
At any rate the County Clerks slum-
bers Wednesday night were not dis
turbed by any one from the Sheriff $
office under instructions to arrest him,
and he says that the first notification
OF his indictment was presented to him
in the columns of the first newspaper
he looked at yesterday morning. Then
he rallied his sureties and FASTENED to
court.
The case has not yet been assigned for
trial, but that will probably be done
tomorrow. District Attorney Byington
hopes to have the matter before jury
early in January, although it is likely
that the defendant will not be called
to court before his term has expired, on
January I. Mahony declines to state
what his defense will be further than
to asseverate that so long as he is in
Office he will make his subordinates at
tend to their duties, which is inter
preted to mean that he may claim to
possess a right to dock" the salaries
of employees who are negligent.
