falling to procure bond for his ap-

satisfy himself as to whether or not
Scudamore is sufficiently sane to con-
duct his defense, and if so q date for
the trial on the charges of embeZZle-
ment, will be set. The attorneys of
,Scudamore will endeavor to prove
that he is still mentally unbalanced
and cannot conduct his defense.
1t is probable that the state, as
well as the defense. will introduce a
number of witnesses, among tlem
being the superintendent of the in

weeks in Pensacola during the pro-

sent to the asylum, has returned here
