Posts Bond, Fails to Appear
The sum of $40 apparently
means little In the life OF Thomas
Ahearn who was arrested yesterday
afternoon on School street in q bad.
ly intoxicated condition. That was
the amount of the cash bond which
he posted at police headquarters to
guarantee his appearance In court
this morning, but he failed to pre-
sent himself.
When arrested Ahern had In his
possession $140 in bills. During the
evening, when he had recovered
sufficiently from the effects Of the
liquor. he was released with so In
his possession. The large bond was
asked for by the police for the rea-
son that they felt he might again
fall by the wayside and that upon
awaking, would find that his money
had disappeared. Much to their sur
prise, Ahern failed to appear before
the prosecutor this morning.
Ahern still has a chance TO claim
the bond, however, inasmuch as no
court session was held this morning
and consequently the bond has not
as yet been forfeited.
