SENTENCE DEFERRED UNTIL TO-
DAY AND is EXPECTED TO
BE A VERY LIGHT ONE
Was Under One of the Strongest In
dividual Bonds Ever Made in
This State, Worth About
100000

When George Ryan, Of this city,
made a formal plea OF guilty to thu
charge against aim in the federal
court at Council Bluffs. Iowa, yester-
day, he terminated one OF the strong
est Individual bonds ever made IN
this state, one said to be worth $780,
900.
The charge against Ryan was an old
one, growing from his association sew
eral years before with the foot race
gang which had operated extensively
in the western states. 1t was charged
directly That Ryan WAS one Of num-
ber of conspirators who had used the
mails for fraud. That charge, singly,
1t is said, could not have been suo-
stantiated, but he had not denied be-
ing part OF the general gang which
had promoted fake foot races, prize
fights. and other methods OF relieving
Mixes of taeir money.
Ryan was arrested in this city last
summer by the federal officers after
long fight against being saken. When
arrested he was hurried to Little
Rock, where in federal court bond
OF $4,000 was required to prevent his
immediate transfer to Council Bluffs.
In order TO qualify on a federal
court bond bondsman must have
unincumbered realty twice the value
of the sum pledged in the bond. Many
a bondsman who could qualify for
liberal sum on state bond would not
be worth one cent to federal bond
under this requirement.

hurried to Little Rock and qualified.
