Chicago, May 8.-(P)-Samuel In
Gull, tragic figure, was placed under
100000 bond by q federal Judge
Tuesday and, unable to furnish 1t. was
led away to Jail.
Eyes trimming with tears, steps
tagging, he trudged silently between
his guards to be locked up, a prisoner
il the city where he had risen to
greatness among the financial and
utilities potentates Of the land.
Thirteen thousand miles Of harried
wandering across Europe, the Mediter-
ranean and the Atlantic had brought
him at last to the bar Of justice.
Crowds CAPPED at him In the station.
He faced them impassjvely. At the
United States Marshal's office he
heard the charges read: use Of the
mails fraudulently, and violation of
the bankruptcy act. He collapsed. his
heart overtaxed by the physical and
emotional strain.
He was fingerprinted. then led be-
fore Judge.
U. s. District Attorney Dwight H.
Green demanded $500, 900 bond. The
government, he related. had spent q
vast sum chasing this elderly gentle
man around the hemisphere and
wanted assurance he would be on
hand for trial.
Lawyer Balks at Jail
This means he will be compelled to
go to JAIL" protested Floyd E. Thomp-
son, former chief justice Of the Illi-
nois supreme court and defender Of
insult.
IF the government thinks we are
bluffing, the government will find 1t
is mistaken. We cannot raise this
amount.
when John Factor was held for re-
nloval to England recently the gov
eminent only placed him under $780,
900 bond"
Judge Barnes listened briefly to the
arguments OF Green and the de-
fender.
THE only question before the
court" the jurist said, lis the amount
Of bail which would reasonably as
sure the presence Of this defendant at
his trial.
THE question as to how much
money or property q man has. has
nothing to do with the amount Of
bail. Under the circumstances, I am
Of the opinion that the suggestion Of
the government Is not excessive"
insult, to whom thousands were
paltry, sagged in his chair. Thomp-
son pleaded again. but the court had
decided.
Is Assisted to Feet
Deputy marshals assisted the broken
man to his feet marched off with him
to the office Of u. s. Marshal H. C..
w. Laubenheimer where only an
hour before insult had been delivered
into his custody by Burton Y. Berry,
the presidents messenger, who had
brought him from Istanbul.
Father will have to submit to in
generation" said Samuel insult, Jr.,
I'VE cannot make the bond"
A physician and old friend, DR..
Arthur Elliott, joined them in the
marshal's office while officials were
determining to what jail insult should
b. sent.
Young insult. once the partner Of
his father in directing the three bill
lion dollar utilities empire that
stretched from Maine to Texas, said
10 attempt would be made to raise
the full amount Of bond required.
Preparations had been made to supply
100000 for his release, but the In
sulls and their counsel had not
counted on so great a sum.
II am resigned to JAIL the elder In
sull was quoted by his son as saying.
