fixing of ball in the case of Arnoii
Busch and Harry Haskarnp. New

to serve from nine and a half years
to sixteen years in stale prison by

pealing the case.
Assistant Prosecutor John E.
Toolan asked that the court fix the

that this was excessive. The court
made it plain that it is seldom the

a case where the defendants have
such records as these men. and tnbt
it is necessary to have the bail in
harmony with the conviction. The
bail was fixed at *15,000.
