RYDER. BOUND OVER
TO GRAND JURY

cial of Fairbanks, who was arrested
in Wrangell at Thanksgiving time

his hearing before I. S. Commits
sioner NJ. E. Boyd Of Fairbanks last

in the office of the clerk of the dis
trict court. Municipal funds IN
accounted for amount to $11,08488.

der to answer on one of three counts
in an information charging him
with embezzlement of public mon
eys. Bail was fixed at $4,000, the
same amount furnished by Mr.. Ry-
der upon his return to Fairbanks.
According to the Fairbanks News
Miner the commissioner decision
to bind the defendant over to await
the action of the grand jury was
given after Thomas A. MarQuam
had argued that the prosecution had
not established a case sufficiently
strong to show probability.
Following the commissioners &C
ton Mr.. Marquam contended that
the government had failed to prove
last two counts and had not made
a clear case in the first and asked
upon which counts the defendant
was to be held. Mr.. Boyd decided
to take the debated counts under
advisement and hold Mr.. Ryder Oh
the first.
The first count charged the de-
PENDANT with "wilfully, unlawful.
and feloniously' converting the sum
of $768.91 to his own use on Janu-
airy 80, 1926. The second charged
him with embezzling 1924 on Feb
ruary 8. 1926, and the third with
unlawful conversion to his own use,
of SLY on October 10, 1927.
1t was intimated that the govern
ment would dismiss rhe original
charge brought against Mr. Ryder
which involved Northern CONNER
cial Co. check transaction.
