Henry To Be Freed From
Tombs ON $4,000 Bail
Certificate Of Reasonable Doubt
Is Granted Pending Argu.
ment on Appeal

Dominick Henry, former police in
sspector. under sentence of from two
TO hve years for perjury, will be re-
l on $4,000 bail to-day from the
Tombs. where he has been confined
since his conviction on June II.
Justice Donnelly Of the Supreme
Court Yesterday granted the applica-
ton OF Henry's attorneys. W. Bourke
Cochran and William E. Murphy, for a
certificate of reasonable doubt which
permits him to be liberated on bail
pending argument on his appeal. Other
wise Henry would have had to remain
IN the Tombs until the case is argued
in October.
William Rand, Deputy Attorney Cen
eral. had opposed the granting of the
certificate. He and Mr.. Cochran sub
mitted lengthy briefs. In granting the
certificate Justice Donnelly said:
The test of the propriety of grant
ing certificate of reasonable doubt in
criminal case is not that the Judge
to whom the application is made should
be satisfied that the judgment Of the
court will be reversed, but that ques-
lions Of law are raised sufficient for
the consideration Of the Appellate
Court -

Mr.. Swami said he had written to
Mrs Josephine Peet Wilmerding, who
was acquainted with Elwell, asking her
