I will offer the testimony of the bailin of the court that she did not appear at the time that the case was called.

 Mir. Fuller. All right.
 She Was "Just Scared"
 The Court: Very well. Why were you not here when you had agreed with the court that you would attend court and stay within the Jurisdiction of the court and appear as a witness in the cases against Caffey? Why did you do it2 You are appearing in court now and this is your opportunity to be heard in this matter? An. was just scared That is It.
 MT. Dent: I think, if the court pleases, that the court has a right to know the facts for two purposes, first, to fix the punishment and next to fix the amount of bail for her next appear ance at this court Whether or not she should be put under bond depends upon the circumstances under which she left here and the amount of that bond depends on the circumstances under which she left here.
 MT. Fuller: The question of bond is not under consideration before this court at this time. It is a matter that may come up later.
