CHICAGO, May 8.-Samuel insult,
tragic figure, was placed under
100000 bond by Federal judge to-
day and, unable to furnish it, was
led away to Jail
Eyes brimming with tears, steps lag
ging, he trudged silently between his
guards to be locked up, a prisoner in
the city where he had risen to great
ness among the financial and utilities
potentates of the Nation.
Five hours from the moment of his
arrival by train from the East, insult
was dressed in at the Cook County
Jail and assigned to cell, but the
Jail physician reported the prisoner
had hardening of the arteries, an
intermittent pulse and a mitral mur-
mur and advised that insult be kept
in the jail hospital. This was ordered
Thirteen thousand miles of harrled
wandering across Europe, the Medi-
terranean and the Atlantic had
brought him at Ia to the bar of
justice. He arrived by train at 8:03
this morning
100000 Bond Demanded.
United States District Attorney
Dwight H. Green demanded 100000
bond. The Government, he related,
had spent a vast sum chasing this
elderly gentleman around the hemi-
sphere and wanted assurance he
would be on hand for trial.
This means he will be compelled
to go to jail" protested Floyd E.
Thompson. former chief justice of the
Illinois Supreme Court, defender of
insult. I'VE cannot raise this amount"
THE only question before the court"
the jurist said, ''is the amount of bail
presence OF this defendant at his trial.
Judge Firm.
"The question as to how much
money or property a 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 sagged in his chair.
Deputy marshals assisted the broken
man to his feet, marched off with him
to the office of United States Marshal
H. G. w. Laubenheimer, where only
an hour before insult had been de-
llvered into his custody by Burton Y.
Berry. the Presidents messenger, who
had brought him from Istanbul.
Through a gaping. murmuring
crowd that filled the vast Union Sta
ton. insult had marched, a prisoner.
Collapses Into Chair.
With impassive fortitude, arm in
arm with Federal officers, he had
walked through a throng that filled
the vast Union Station here, was hur-
ried away to be arraigned before a
Federal court, and then, hearing the
two warrants that charged him with
crimes against his Government, he
was overcome
Just as Marshal Laubenheimer read
the warrants and took him in custody
from a presidential messenger, insult
weakly sank into a chair, his face
ashen. He was quickly placed on a
coach, his overcoat under his head
for pillow while Samuel insult, jr.,
summoned a physician.
THE stairs were too much for me-"
he murmured I'D like to lie down
for a moment"
Weak From Walk.
The collapse was not considered Sc
rious, although both his son and DR..
George B. Corey. who had ministered
to him O.. the train from the East,
said the long walk from the train
and the excitement had overtaXed
his heart.
DR.. Corey, who had looked after
insult during the train trip. said: He
was in fine health all during the trip,
but they walked him a long way
since he got here and he's In pretty
bad shape now"
DR.. Arthur Elliott, a personal friend
of long standing, was called to the
Federal Court House by the financiers
son and made thorough examination
of his heart.
The physician observed a Sclerotic
condition, hardening of the arteries,
and ordered a wheel chair to take
insult to the court room. The white
haired prisoner spurned it, with in
sistent gestures.
