survey Of the situation revealed
today
Heretofore 1t was within the power
Of the police precinct commander
to set d cash collateral or demand
Il real state bond, as the case
warranted.
II was pointed out by those in
the know today that seldom. IL
ever, was d known bootlegger or
rum runner allowed to post d cash
collateral, that privilege being re-
served to the otherwise law abid-
Ing citizen who unfortunately ran
afou1 Of the law.
Under the new ruling, however.
the latter is placed in the class OF
repeating offenders and whereas
under the old system he would be
allowed to forfeit cash considera-
ton, he will BE forced to make
bond, and unable to do so many
will be forced to spend the week
end In the precinct station houses.
The ruling was prompted accord
Ing to police by the tendency Of
many to forfeit the collateral and
thereby defeat n court conviction
that could be- used against them
upon being arrested the second
time.
