E. H. Slower Of Coles county ar

The indicted men were given an
opportunity to furnish bonds through
counsel; but, according to the plans Of
Coles county authorities, all must ap-
pear in person at Charleston next Mon
day, to sign the legal documents. The
cases will then be continued until
week after next Motions to quash the
indictments will probably be filed at

President Edgar A. Potter, superin-

Charles Bolts, who we're arrested
Tuesday, also furnished bail. the bonds
being fixed at $4,000, except in the
case Of Bolts, who was released on se-
curity of $1,000.
Plans for legal battle to have

against them at Charleston, as re-
suit of the fatal wreck last summer,
were laid by Judge Grosscup, Marshall
E. Sampsell, Arthur w. Underwood, f.

In the battle to have the indict-
ments quashed 1t is understood that
the defendants will argue that the ac-
ton of the grand jury was i'll consid-

dictment Of directors on charge of
criminal carelessness tending to pro.
duce manslaughter cannot hold under
the law.
