Ford represented Gilbert Allen,

testify Assistant District Attorney
Duke asked her to tell her story in her

To his surprise Ford objected, and
his manner of speech led Duke to the
conclusion that he had been drinking.
That became so apparent a few min

Will Be Admitted to Liberty on
Payment of $4,000

w. a. Stein. who shot and killed his
brother in law. Edward Livermore, the
property man at the Princess theater'
and was held to answer for murder,
was admitted to bail in the sum of
$4,000 by Judge Cabaniss yesterday.
After the matter had been presented by
Attorney William A. Cannon, the judge
said that in view of the circumstances
he felt Stein was entitled to bail not
withstanding that it was murder
charge. The only case in which per-
son accused of murder was not entitled
to bail was where the presumption was
strong that the death penalty might
be inflicted. Inasmuch as the coroner's s
jury had found this case to be one of
manslaughter it was clearly bailable,
the judge concluded.
