 Bud Stephens has been released from the county jail on bond of $50. eco, Superior Judge Sweeney having accepted as sureties the lads father, Joseph II. Smith, John Duke and Charles Hooker. The youth, who has been in jail since July following his conviction on a charge of murdering Robert Miller here in April, obtained his lib- erty after the supreme court had found fault with the trial in the su- perior court here. The reversal of the case automatically niade it nec- essary for Judge Sweeney to admit the prisoner to bail, there being no choice about the matter. The at toTneys representing the defendant petitioned the court for bail. and Judge Sweeney set the amount at the same figure as had prevailed prior to the trial of the young man.
