Patrolman A. II. jackson was not marked |
by any unusual circumstance. The pris- |
oner, through his counsel. Attorney Eng |
lisn, waived the preliminary examination,
and, after some discussion as to the |
amount Of the bond, Grove was bound over |
by Police Judge Berka to appear forth I
with in the district court in the sum of |
5000.
The climax to the little sparring match |
between County Attorney slabaugh and |
Attorney English over the bond matter oc-
CURED after Mr.. Slabaugh intimated he |
understood Grove was able to furnish a |
good bond II necessary and the states at
torney was urging on the Judge to place |
| the bond at $4,000.
Il know of Pats ability to do other |
things" remarked Attorney slabaugh to
the Judge. half jokingly.
Grove Protests His Innocence.
For full q minute before this Grove was
looking intently at the prosecuting attor-
| ney, and when slabsush made the above
remark Groves brow wrinkled and his
lip curled when he said to Attorney sla-
bauEh:
And you'll try your ability to send me
to the penitentiary, but you won't do it,
my friend; I'm innocent"
There was at the time an expression on
| Groves face not noticed since his arrival
in Omaha Monday evening.
In a minute or so Judge Berka fixed the
bond at 5000 Then Grove said. casting a
sneerins glance at the magistrate:

taken UP. Attorney slabaugh opened the
discussion by asking the judge to consider
the circumstances of the case as we'll as
the specific charge against Grove. To sup
port his contention In this matter Mr.. sla-
baugh referred the court to the case OF
Barrett Scott, as reported in the North
Il western Reports. In which Scott was placed
under bonds of $4,000 for stealing $4,000. a
lesser crime than the one with which Grove
is charged, insisted the county attorney.
English Says He Surrendered.
Attorney English then spoke on behalf of
Grove, asking that the court consider the
fact that Grove practically gave himself
up to the authorities. had demonstrated
his ability to elude the officers of the law
for 1--WE years and made no efforts to con-
ceal his identity when arrested at Butte"
We'll what do you think would be a
County Attorney SlabRugh, after the Hrst
round of the argument had been made.
IL would say $4,000 As fair bond under
the circumstances" replied Attorney Sla-
baugh. --------- --.4-
why, that lie simply ridiculous" replied
Mr.. English, who then referred to his ex-
