FEARS BOND RULING
MAY FLOOD COURTS
Justice Siddons Sees Pros
peCt of Mass of Habeas
Corpus Petitions.

Possibility that petitions for habeas
corpus writs may flood the upper courts
because of the inability of defendants
in Police Court cases to get bond after
certain hours was commented on by
Justice Siddons today, when a hearing
for a writ OF habeas corpus opened in
his court
The case which brought the possibility
to Justice Sddons' attention was the
petition for a habeas corpus writ made
by Attorney Harry Whalen, represent
ing George A. De Barr, George \. Dor
sey and Alexander Licarione, who were
arrested early Sunday morning on
charges of setting UP a gaming table.
Attorney Whalen, finding it impos-
sible to get bonds between IL pm.
Saturday and am. Monday-because
OF Police Court rules-obtained a writ
from Justice Siddons Sunday for the
release of the defendants The hear
ing was scheduled for this morning
at 10 o'clock, but after both prosecu-
ton and defense made the motion,
was continued for few days.
Wants Matter Settled.
Justice Siddons, however. took oc-
casion to remark that he was very
anxious to have the matter deter
mined. Attorney whaIen, in his Pc
tition, set forth that he was not per-
mitted to give bond Sunday by the
Police Court.
Justice Siddon announced that this
petition had opened his eyes to a
strange Situation existing because of
he pt,fAe
being supplied by defendants, adding
that if the situation proves to be what
it now appears to be it means that
the upper courts will be flooded with
matters that should be handled in
Police Court, such as habeas corpus
'writs in lieu of bond, which should
be granted there.
The Police Court rules. recently
when bond may be authorized. No
bond may be authorized on Sunday.
About thirteen persons were at the
scene of the raid en- Riggs street. near
when police from the third precinct
arrested all present. Three were
charged with setting up a gaming
table, and three others were held as
witnesses. while the remainder were
released
Those arrested were De Barr, who
gave his address as 1904 Riggs street;
Dorsey Of 123 Randolph place north
west, and Licarione of 1905 1 street
southeast. Those held as witnesses
were Joseph Hofstetter, thirty-one, of
1917 l. street; John Grady, thirty-two.

Wilson, fifty-five, of 500 4th street
Although police state that informa-
ton that a gambling den was run
ming in full blast at the scene of the
raid was brought TO them by a. young
man who is supposed to have lost
$40 there, the defendants, through
their attorney, stated that the party
was nothing more than a sociabIe
Saturday night affair such as is en-
joyed by the best of u.s."
