SUPREME
CoURT--THE ARSON
CASE--THE DIVORCES
Oath Times, Oct. 19)

At Supreme Judicial court We'd
nesday afternoon the verdict of guilty
by the jury in the case of Sam Hy-
man and Morris Schiller for the Rich
;nond arson case was followed by q
motion by the defense for a new trial,
which Justice Philbrook denied. He
allowed exceptions to be taken,
which will bring the matter before
the full bench Of the Supreme Court
and which, if granted, will result in
new trial. During the tendency of
these exceptions the prisoners were
allowed to give bonds, which the court
named at $4,000 for each Of the prison
ers and these bonds were given by
Messrs. Shapiro of Auburn.
In case the prisoners jump bail, the
bondsmen would have to pay for the
two, $4,000. In case one escaped, $40,
900. While the bondsmen are each held
liable for the return Of each prisoner
!! on penalty of the forfeit Of $4,000 for
each non-appearance, $4,000 the total
Of the bonds for both would be the linn
it Of the total forfeiture. The idea that
in case both prisoners failed to ap-
pear when wanted. the bondsmen
would be liable for double the total
bonds for the two men Of $4,000,
or $4,000, which sum would be or could
be demanded by the State, is a mis-
understanding.
The penalty in case the prisoners
convicted for arson at this term fail
to have new trial, is Imprisonment
for life, the same as for murder.
