SEARCH FOR BONDSMEN.
After the amounts of bail in each case
had been determined. there was hur-
ried exit on the part of friends of the
respondents after bondsmen. and by n
series of remarkable shifts and arrange
ments every man accused in the informa-
lions succeeded In securing the amount
of his bail The reason for the large
amount of bail in some of the cases was
| that the men had several counts against
them. Sam Alpert has seven counts in
! the information against him. Robinson
| has two. Feinberg five. Louis Alpert six
and Louis Alfred five. The others, name
w. Saiger. Rosenberg, Woodland and Mil
Ter. have one count charged against
them

proceedings against YOU to recover the
amount of that BALI" asked Mr. shaw.

"Why don't you pay up and save the
State all that trouble? asked Mr. Hop

$4,000 After considerable examination OF
the part of Mr. Hopkins, Mr. Shaw and
