Released on Bond.
E. F. Jacobs, a white man who has
been in jail since the last term Of the
court of general sessions, on the charge
of attempted criminal assault, was re-
leased Wednesday on bond OF $500.
The defendant is a peddler of enlarged
pictures and the prosecuting witness
Is a lady of Glover. The alleged Of
fense was alleged to have been COM
mitted while the last term Of the
court of general sessions was sitting.
Jacobs was arrested and promptly
committed to Jail. The grand jury re-
turned a true bill and 1t was expect
ed at the time that the case would be
tried at once; but for some reason 1t
was delayed. After 1t was settled that
the case would not be tried an appn-
cation for bail was argued before Judge
Aldrich. According to the facts as de-
veloped, 1t appeared to his honor tnat
while the defendant may have acted
very improperly his offense was not
sufficiently aggravated to warrant the
extreme penalty provided for such
cases, and bail was granted In the sum
Of $500. 1t was not until the past few
days that the prisoner succeeded In
getting a satisfactory bondsman.
