MORE TIME GIVEN IN MURDER CASES GEORGE FLAKE IN JAIL Monroe Flake and Edwards Allow ed and Make Bond-Hearing Now
 Set October 21.

Continuance until Friday, October 21, was granted this morning when s. D. M (Monroe) Flake, Mon Hon. singer, Ed Edwards, Jr., and David Williams were arraigned.
 George Flake, confessed slayer of Wallace Wilson and would be suicide, was brought to Conway at noon to- day by Dr. J. B. Mum and w. V. Wallace and placed in the county jail. Flake bore up we'll under travel from Vilonia and was said to be rest ing comfortably this afternoon.
 Monroe Flake, Williams and Ed wards made bond for their appear ance in thes um of S2,500 after Jus tice G. M Easterwood had fixed this as the bail for each of the four de- fendants, and were released. Hon. singer had not made bond this after noon and was still in jail.
 When the defendants were re- moved from jail and taken to the court room at 10 o'clock, Attorney k. w. Robins for Monroe Flake and Edwards moved continuance in order that preparations might be made for defense. Attorney I. M. Campbell, who represented Honsinger and was to speak for Williams at the prelimi- nary arraignment, also requested continuance. Counsel for the four was secured only this morning, it was stated, and no time for consultations had been possible. Prosecuting At torney w. J. Waggoner of Lonoke, who arrived this morning, also had had no time to prepare and continu- ance was granted under agreement
 With continuance granted and the time agreed upon, counsel for the defendants also asked bail under agreement with the prosecution. It was stated that Monroe Flake is an old man and might possibly contract serious illness while in the custody of the county MT. Waggoner also acceded to this request, and the court fixed $2,500 each as the amount of qualified bond required. w. Arthur Wilson, brother of the slain man and whose affidavits resulted in the ar rests of the defendants, was present at the arraignment.
 On account of their physical con- dition, Mrs. Monroe Flake, Mrs. Wal lace Wilson, Mrs. Frankie Fraser ] (nee Edwards) and Mrs. George I Flake, also under arrest as alleged accessories before the fact of murder, were not required to come here for arraignment this moning. They are under guard of Deputy Lem Scott, Justice of the Peace R. J. Hogan and Constable Russell of that township.
 George Flakes condition has been valable since the dose of self admin istered poison last Saturday after he IS alleged to have written a note con- fessing to the murder of Wallace Wilson. His condition on Monday showed improvement, but since then has varied. An attack yesterday af- ternoon, it was said, was of great violence and number of men were required to hold him in bed. Should he survive the double poison taken, as now seems probable, and also re- tain his mental balance, he will be the most important at the hearing or trial of the eight persons now in custody.
 Justice Easterwood before ad- Journing his court directed witnesses summoned today to report next Fri day without further instructions. Summons will also be issued for de- fense witnesses, it was stated, and possibly others summoned for khe state. MT. Waggoner will return for the arraignment
