 SCHEME WARRANTS.

Ryan Was Sitting in Sheriff's Office When Williams Returned From Lunch and Said he Had Been
 in the Country on Hunt.

George Ryan, the fourth man in GUS tody as a result of warrants growing cut of the Frank F. Fox $2000O swim de, surrendered himself to the GUS tody of Sheriff R. L. Williams yester- day at noon, and had roster of bondsmen who were willing to sign his bond, which was readily taken, and short while after he surren- dered himself. was on the streets among his friends.
 The bond was in the sum of S5,000 the same as the bond that had been required in the cases of two others charged. and was signed by George Ryan. c. Floyd Huff, Ed Spear, s. w. Leslie, Frank F. Walker Dr. Da- Costa Walker and Roy Levi
 Ryan made no statement other than that he had been in the country cn a hunt and that his dogs had left him and came on home, and that he had come in during the morning.
 Information from the prosecuting attorneys office last night was in ef- feet that the state would be ready to enter into the preliminary examina- ton of the George Ryan case before Circuit Judge Gotham this morning. Circuit court will be opened about 10 o'clock, and the examination may 9ol. low
 The information that the state would he ready to proceed was em- phasized by counsel for Fox, che prosecuting witness, who stated that while Mir. Fox and Attorney Hickey had made arrangements to leave the city temporarily today, yet if the 5e- fense wanted to enter into the exami- nation the state would be ready. ana the prosecuting witness would be ready to take the stand.
 Attorney Ryan, for the defense, stated last night that the decision as to what would be done in this exami- nation this morning has not been ar rived at He stated he had received notice to be in circuit court this morning from Deputy Wilmington, and that they would be there, when some disposition would be made of the case.
 There Is much of doubt as what will he the outcome. The prosecution has apparently been anxious to get the case into action so that it could get some witnesses on the stand and also issue a number of special sub- pocnas, whlcd il is believed will not be done until just before the case is called
 On the other hand, Attorney Ryan and Leslie, for two of the former de- fendants, arraigned, were ready 10 enter into the examination when the case was called last Monday morning and no doubt would have done so but for the decision of Judge c. Floyd Huff, who represents another defend ant, in effect that he would waive ex- animation and have his client held to the grand jury under bond. Attor- neys Ryan and Leslie acquiesced in the decision of Judge Huff, and all waiver examination.
 There had never been any consider able doubt but that Ryan would come into custody. He had been about phe city until probably half an hour after the warrant had been issued for him, and then disappeared suddenly Shee- if Williams made several trips 10 the country to apprehend him, but they were futile.
 Ryan is charged with grand lar
  ceny, the same as the charges against Big Charlie" Wilk, Joe Aberly-Amis, and Frank Slayin, now under bond, and Joe Denton and J. H Ward, who have been fugitives since the alleged S20,000 swindle, but who it is report cd have been heard from frequntly and who the officers acting for the Prosecuting witness believe will be ann IL. r- 4
