A speedy trial, the court held, was

Shepherds counsel, Attorney Will

he would carry the bail motion to

intimated today that plans for such
action already were under way. In
other quarters, it was said that the
appeal probably would not be filed,
that the defense would rest on the
decision of the lower court and
muster their forces for the trial
