Criminal Court to-day and rave bonds

freely circulated that, others of the in
dictcd men had fled to Canada 1t was
established Tonight that some were only
in hiding in the city until the bond ques-
ton was settled and until they could
arrange for personal securities for their
release.
The cases of the indicted labor men
took a sensational turn in another direc-
ton in the court proceedings in the af-
%tcrnoon, when Assistant States Attorney

ing he had received when II became
known that indictments soon were
to be returned. He said he had de-
stroyed the letters and no attention., had
been paid TO the telephone threats.

refused to ALLOW professional bondsinea
TO go surety for the indicted men.
While the defendants attorneys were
arranging bonds for as many as possible
