Court Refuses to Dismiss.
Bail was fixed at $4,000 IN each case
and was accepted from surety COM
pany. Sentence was pronounced after
the court had overruled motion for
dismissal of the verdict on the ground
that it was contrary to the evidence
and the law in the case.
In making the motion Attorney Rand

it was his painful duty to ask for sub

'dence to show that the company, as
such, had entered into any conspiracy.

he was subordinate official and prob
