SAEAAV OooCos
 Attorney A. Henry Weisman, counsel for the accused in three cases in which the bonds were for- feited, was reported vacationing in Florida. No further explanation of the non-appearance of the appel lants was offered.
 Tn one of the cases continuance was asked but the jurist ruled that uon-appearance of an accused rec quired forfeit of the bond. Attor- ney Ralph Coppeto pointed out that his client, Joseph Daddah is in the Maritime Service and at distant location and was unable to be in court today.
 In denying postponement Judge McNif stated that the case would be reopened and the bond calling revoked if sufficient cause is found. The counsel claimed a serviceman had special protection by law and offered to obtain citations to show that the case against his client should not be terminated by bond calling because of his military status.
 The other cases in which the bond was forfeited were: Samuel Davis, operating a motor vehicle while un- der the influence; Alfonso Carter, breach of the peace and resistance; Couthan Little, breach of the peace; Helen Little, breach of the peace; Peter Waitis, lascivious carriage; Thomas Harris, operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor; Thomas Hunter, carrying concealed weapon.
 Paul Mccall pleaded not guilty to a charge of breach of peace and Claude w. Scovill pleaded not guilty to a charge of nuisance by dogs. Both selected trials by jury, the dates to be set later.
 A breach of peace charge appealed by the late Louis Marchinak was ordered stricken from the record when the court was informed the accused committed suicide several weeks ago. The man died shortly after swallowing a large amount of Lysol.
