SEEK BOND
REDUCTION
Defense Counsel Contends
Evidence Corroborates
Woman's Story.

Mrs. Mabel Longworth Sheridan,
held in the county Jail on $4,000
bond, charged with the murder of Mrs.
Ada Mendham McCobb, wealthy
recluse and mystery woman, whose
death was caused by blows from a
claw hammer, September %, may be
released.
This became know Thursday. when
it was found that Norton and Brown,
attorneys for the accused woman, were
instigating proceedings for a reduction
of her bond.
ATTORNEYS OPTIMISTIC.
Based on the grounds of the evi.
dence compiled by Investigators of the
district attorneys office which cot
roborated Mrs. Sheridan's voluntary
statement of self defense in connection
with the killing, it is believed by her
attorneys that the bond can be re-
duced, insuring her release, pending
action of the grand jury.
Judge William S. Anderson OF
Thirty-seventh District Court, when
questioned, stated the evidence intro.
duced in the habeas corpus hearing
was responsible for the heavy bond but
upon the approval Of District Attor-
ney Chambers, the bond could be low
cred.
CHAMBERS SILENT.
Chambers asserted that the defense
attorneys petition was well founded
and though he refused to make any
definite statement, indicated he would
approve such action provided suffi.
cient bond was posted to insure her
appearance before the grand jury.
