BAIL IS FIXED
FOR LOCAL MEN
Judge Daily Acts in Case of
Five Men Arrested for Rob-
bling Ludwig VOLTS Cellar

NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb. 81
Judge Peter Il. DAILY this morning
fixed bail at $500 each in the cases
of the five Perth Amboy men ar
rested Sunday night by County De-
tective William Fitzpatrick and
Officers John Murray, Michael Mus
ka and Detective Joseph Gutowski
on a charge of b~urglarizing the
home of Ludwig Wolff. Application
was made by David Wilentz, attor-
ney for the defendants, to Judge
DAILY that bail be fixed and the judge
complied with the request. The
amount at which he placed the bail,
however, was considered too high
by Attorney Wilentz. who claimed
that some of those arrested were not
guilty of the robbery and had been
arrested when they came to the
police station as being interested in
the case. He declared that only one
man, Christensen. was in a position
to furnish $500 bail.
Judge DAILY refused to reduce the
bail in the case unless the request
for a reduction should be made by
Prosecutor Stricken which is not like
lyt as 1t was he that ordered the
cleanup.
