It is taking a lot of record making to
keep Ray ". Brydon out Of Jail. He
has been waiting trial for nearly a year
on three indictments. charging grand
larceny, false pretense and failure to pay
wages.
The records in the Criminal Court show
that BrydOn gave a new appearance bond
today for Sl,100 with his father, W. Z.
Brydon, as the only surety.
When Brydon failed to appear last Sat-
urday for final disposition of the case in
which he is charged with grand larceny,
the court ordered Brydon's bond, with
Charles c. Clark, his attorney, and his
father, as surety. forfeited. About an
hour later Brydon appeared in court and
the forfeiture was set aside.
Brydon was sent to jail Saturday
morning and remained there until in the
evening, when a new bond. which was
signed by w. c. Brydon and Mr.. Clark,
was accepted, Sheriff George Snider
stated.
For some unexplained reason d new
bond was given today with only Bry-
dons father as surety.
Judge Collins has not passed Judgment

TO REPORT ON
JAIL SATURDAY
Grand Jury Sees Records Of
Improvement Orders.

The Marion County grand jury Is ex-
pected to make a report Saturday on
conditions at the County JaH. as well as
to submit recommendations for necessary
improvements.
The county commissioners today in
spected the Jail, the grand jury having
spent several hours going over the place
Tuesday.
The grand jury was instructed by
Judge James !. Collins Of Criminal
Court to make the Investigation after
Sheriff George Snjder sent a written re
quest to the court asking that certain
improvements be made and that new
plumbing he installed.
1t is known that records Of the county
commissioners showing the granting Of
certain improvement contracts at the 1aI
last year have been taken before the
grand jury.
Certain contracts, such as installing
a new locking system for the cells, have
been let and the records were submitted
by the commissioners to show what work
already has been contracted, for.
1t is thought the recent escape Of
man from the Jail prompted Sheriff
Snider's request for a grand jury inves-
tigation.
Judge Collins is expected to instruct
the county commissioners to carry out all
recommendations made by the grand
jury.

the statement.
"If the affairs of our market had been

there would have been no necessity for

the revenues would easily have paid the

The committee on the market included

LONDON, Feb. 16-British off
ciais have no fears that the allied
indemnity question will lead to a
revolution in Germany, despite the
pessimisuc forecasts of German po-

Even should German unrest be

sources and much more self-contained
today than any other country on the
