secure witnesses and prepare for
trial.
That was taken into consider
alton when $4,000 was fixed. II
was not sufficient TO insure this
defendants attendance in court.
Violation Of Trust
'If $4,000 was not sufficient
it would seem to this court
that 1t would be gross violation
Of trust for this court now TO fix
less than $4,000 bail.
"on the other hand, 1t would
seem. in fairness to the defendant
and to the people of the state Of
Washington, that 1t should be in
creased to absolutely assure the
defendants presence. The court
denies the request OF the defend
ant, and fixes the same amount
fixed by Judge Card.
THE case may be set for trial
at this time"
That brought Attorney Peterson
to his feet.
But your honor. I'd like to
have that put off for a while
II have no objection to a de-

NOSE BARNETT
FREE ON BOND
Oct. 10 Set az Date
of Trial; Amount
Still SIS, 900

Continued From Page One)
1927, Defense Attorney Henry Ar
mold Peterson asked reduction Of
bail to $1,000.
"Second-degree burglary IL the
most common felony" Peterson
appealed to the court. Records
show three or four Of them a day.
Some are handled by the police
court right in this city.
Ordinary Procedure
''Dickerson's case took the ordi-
nary procedure. He was wanted
in some southern penitentiary,
went back there and finished his
sentence a long time ago. The
prosecutor didn't consider the
charge of sufficient importance
TO extradite him."
Barnett's failure to return for
arraienment in 1928. when he for
feited the $4,000 cash bail, Peter
son explained as a case of the
accused mans going to his wife,
who had been injured in an auto
mobile accident, or neglecting her
to face the court here.
Victim of Cancer
Twelve years later, Barnett
sought freedom Wednesday TO go
to his wife, who he said is dying
of cancer and may not live longer
than two weeks. Prosecutor Thor
Tollefson said that had been veri-
fled.
Principal argument Of the de-
Tense attorney in asking bail re-
duction was that the prisoner is
on parole from Minnesota and
must keep in touch with that
states penal authorities at all
times.
For 1871 years." he said, they
have placed a bail bond over him
stronger than anything that could
be imposed here. l NOV the
prosecutor, down in his heart, will
be satisfied with a $4,000 bond.
THE prosecutor recognizes this
Is not a serious offense when he
doesn't make the slightest effort
to get the other man."
Not a Prosecutor
Tollefson, answering that he did
not want to prosecute, and wanted
Barnett to be able to 60 back to
his wife and spend the remaining
days with her, pointed out only
that $4,000 bail once was not
enough.
He also referred TO rumors Of
money being offered in Barnett's
defense.
II don't want the court to
think" he said. that any fund has
been offered me to drop the case.
I'll be satisfied with the discretion
OF the court"
Judge Hodges discretion was to
leave the bond as Judge Z. M.
Card fixed it in 1928.
Explains Purpose

ately, lis to insure attendance of

Char|emagne Gets
Blame for Plague
Of European War

PHOENIX, Sept. 27. (UP)-Char-
lemagne, the conqueror of the ninth
century, and not Adolf Hitler could
be held responsible for the present
troubles in Europe.
That. at any rate, was an idea
presented TO a Phoenix service club
by DR.. Arnold Tilden, professor of
history at the Arizona State college
of Tempe.
Since the days of Charlemagne,
DR.. Tilden said, wars have occur
red in Europe on the average of
once every 27 years. All of them
found their source in economic
riyalries and political intrigue, he
said
"If Charlemagne had not divided
his kingdom among his three sons, "
DR.. Tilden said, Europe might be
one united state today, instead of
group of bitterly jealous rivals.
The aggressor in this war is
the one from whom something
was taken in the last war. 1t Is
history repeating itself over and
over"
