municipal election, failed TO appear for
pleading and his attorneys expressed
ignorance as to his whereabouts Ear
lier in the day Krup's release had been
secured under increased bail.

was in court, was indignant at the turn
of affairs. Tonight the attorney general
made public this statement:
Every effort viii be made TO ascer-
tain who put up the $1,000 bail and
who employed counsel to defend Krup.
The failure of Krup to appear in court
was a fragrant defiance of law as ]

Krup is the best confirmation of the
statement by me in court urging that
his bail be increased. l believe there
were reasons apart from reasons Of his
own why krup did not appear.

Justice DaVy declared the $4,000 bail
forfeited. Krup's case was reached at

Attorney General Mayer. moving for
forfeiture of bail. declared he was not
surprised al the turn of affairs.
If this defendant has left town. " de-
clared the attorney general, Il know
with whom he was last seen, and will
know how to proceed. | thought some
body must have been greatly interested
in Krup TO put up $1,000 bail for him
just to secure his liberty for a few
hours"
