;,! MARTIN HAS HIS BOND REDUCED
j TO $ 1 2,000 BY JUDGE J. A. HOWELL
A
I.
Family Now Hopeful That the Required Bail Can Be Furnish
ed and the Prisoner Regain His Liberty Officers De
clare They Will Place Other Charges Against the
urt Man, If He Succeeds in Raising the Bond.
H
j This morning Judge James A. How-
til reduced the bond of Joseph Hen
ry Martin from $20,000, which was
yj fixed by Justice of tho Peace R- T
Rheos at the time of tho preliminary
hearing, to $12,000, after giving the
l matter careful consideration and re-:
viewing a number of authorities.
Martin had a worried look as he
entered the court room with his at
torney and the officers, nut his conn- i
tenance brightened as he met the
fmlle of his wife and his little 3-yoar-l
old girl 01i., u ho accompanied the
mother. Immediately Mrs. Martin
B handed the baby over to the prisoner,
aDd she, with her uncio, was Invited
to take a seat beside tho prisoner In
side the court railing Mrs. Martin
was seated next to her husband and
between her and the uncle J F. Mar
tin, eat Deputy Sheriff George Lcatb
am. Judge Howell was thirty minutes
late, during which time the prisoner
busied himself In confidential convpr-
l satlon with his wire, ana in tonanng
HI Olive, upon whom he showered a mul
ls tlpllcity of kisses, and scanned her
dress closely.
The baby wore a neat little fur
coat, which wiB white as the Christ
mas snow outside the court room, her
head was covered with a neat little
hood and her hair was tied daintily In
pink ribbon. Tho little tot was hap
py to sen her father and she caress
ingly played with him until her moth
er took her back Into her lap, while
i the prisoner talked with his attor
ney This was the first appearance
of any of the defendant's three chil
dren in court.
J Mrs Martin had a cheerful look
and did not seem to worry over the
I situation. She wa dressed In a
brown suit and a dark felt hat. She
I wore furs around her neck and car
ried a large fur muff and had a heavy
gray winter coat. Both she and the
baby were most neatly clad and show
I ed no signs of financial distress. The
I child has a pretty doll face and very
I I much resembles tho father
The attorncv f"r Martin stated, af
ter the decision reducing the bond
, had been given, that his client was
well pleased with the turn of affairs,
and he thought ho could secure the
ball required The prisoner said that
he hoped to be able to secure the bond
as he is anxious to got to work.
Immediately after the hearing the
prisoner and his attorneys, together
with Mrs. Martin and the baby; J. F.
.Martin the uncle, and Harry Martin,
the cousin, repaired to the sheriffs
(ifflce, where he Martins talked over
the names of the various friends of
the defendant whom they hupod will
aid In furnishing a bond .1 F, Mar
tin took the names of a number of
people suggested by the prisoner and
said that he would Bee them, that
"Harry has enough friends in the
community to aid him In furnishing
ball "
Harry Martin, who was released
from the custody of the officers on a
oharge of burglary recently, Rtated
that he culd not say positively wheth
er a bond could be secured, "but we
will try mightv hard to got one and 1
believe we will succeed,'' ho said be
fore leaving the sheriff's office.
The prisoner was permitted a bath
in tho county Jaf after his wife left
and he was taken to the west cell,
whlch Is a compartment off from tho
main corridor. The cell adjoins the
padded cell. It Is the cell that was
occupied by Maxwell, one of the high
way robbers who figured In the re
cent holdup at the Exchange saloon
and the Blel butcher shop.
It is said by District Attorney John
C. Davis that If Martin succeeds in
getting ball In the cae now against
hm, another charge will be preferred
and he will be put to the trouble of se
curing more bail
It is said the next complaint will
charge Martin with the robbery of
Mrs. McLaren-Boyle-Wallen. H U1
be recalled that Mrs Wallen was rob
bed of her Jewelry at hor home In Oc
tobi r, 1911, and that afterwards the
holdups returned It to her on payment
of $100. The bandits told her that
she could have her diamonds if 8De
would pay them tho money. She was
directed to meet them on North Wash
ington avenue. They failed to meet
her at the appointed place, but accost
ed her near tho Ogden river bridge on
Washington avenue as she was return

by the club in making these rooms
the most beautiful in the building ana
for this reason the furnishings alio
decorations were modeled on tne

to meet her and there received the
money from hor, returning the Jewels
It is said that Mrs. U alien is quite
certain that Martin was one of the
men.
Why Ball Is Reduced.
Following is Judge Howell's deci
sion fixing the ball at $12,000
"In this case the defendant Is en
tilled under our constitution to ball
as a matter of right, and It is ex
preSBly proided also thut It must
not be exceilive In determining
the amount 'bat should be fixed as
bail in this or in any other criminal
usc, the purposo thereof must al
ways be borne In mind. The commit
ting of prisoners to jail prior to
trial and before they have been found
guilty Is simply for tho purpose of
securing their attendance at the trial
It must not be for punishment, fcr,
of course, they have not prior to
their trial been fouud guilty and are
not entitled to be punished. It is
not for the purpose of preventing tho
commission of othor crimes, or for
any purpose other than to Insure their
tttendance at the trial. If therefore
the presence of the defendant can no
Insured In some other way, that In
what the law desire, and the amount
of ball which should be required In
any case Is such sum as will make
reasonably certain the attendance of
the defendant at tho trial.
As bearing upon the question as to
what will Insure that result, a mini
bor of circumstances may be consld
ered, though nane of them are conclu
sive. "In the first place, the character
of the crime should always be taken
Into consideration, it being obvious
that the graver crimes would require
larger amounts than the lesser crimes
"lu the second place, the situation
and relations of the defendant should
be taken account of. that Is to say,
whether ho is a resident or a tran
sient, whether he attempted to avoid
arrest or otherwise or has at templet
to escape or otherwise, whether he
is a married man and has a family
living iu the community and all such
facts and circumstances as throw
light upon his situation and relations
"In the third place, his financial
situation should be considered, al
though, of course, this Is by no means
conclusive, for fhe reason that if it
were, then a man w:thoit anything
would be entitled to be released with
out giving any ball
"In certain cases there aro othor
elements which might be Considered,
such as the condition of the defend
ant's health, which la not Involved In
this caso, the delay. If any. which
may reasonably be expected to ensue
before trial, but. of course, that is uot
Involved In this case, for the defend
ant may have as speedy a trial as he
desires.
"A different situation is presented
I when, as here, there has been a pre
llmlnary examination and a holding
to answer, or where there has been
an Indictment by a grand jury than
prior thereto, for then a different pre
sumption prevails than that which wl'i
prevail at the trial, the defendant Tot
tho purpose of fixing ball is pre
sumcd to bo guilty (ex parte Duncan
54 Cal. 7."), whereas at the trial of
course the defendant Is at ail times
presumed to be Innocent until he shall
be proven guilty by evidence beyond h
reasonable doubt This presumption,
of course, may be rebutted and evl
lenee upom i he fixing of ball may be
Dtroduced by the defendant to rebut
'hie presumption Tho affidavit filed
n this rase, however, does not seem
. : !.' nurl ' U' b evident c iis i an bo
on ildered, for all that It states Is
hat the defendant will at the trial be
-lb'e to exonerate himself and he ha!
an alibi, but no evidence Is offered
to sustain it If It were then the
court would be In duty bound to he,!
i and In such an event of course, It
would also doubtless be proper tor tec
ttato to put In any evidence tnai .t
may havo. in addition to thai whlcii
was introduced before the committing
nagistrate, but in the first instance
it least the state s not permitted I
he court will not consider any add I
ionnl evidence that the state may
nave, for tho reason of the preeump
tlon to which reference has hereto
rore been madfl
"The court likewise will nol con
Blder any evidence tending to BhOW
chat the defendant may be charged
With or has committed other crimes,
lor, of course, if such be the case be
must be charged and bail fixed upon
'hem. Inasmuch as the pumose for
hlch ball is given looks toward tLo
uture, it is impossible to fix with pre
cision the exact amount which Should
'e required I have, however, been
imazed to discover the small amounij
vhlch have hern required by commit
ting magistrates. Including mysell
hen I was acting as such, in enser,
pf as grave a eharacter as this, bul
I do not think lhat the committing
magistrates are by reason of tuts fact
tMtltled to any criticism, for the rev
son that ordinarily the Tixing of ball
Is to a great extent a formal mat
ter, for In the ordinary criminal case
the defendnnl is a transient and tho
ghlng of any bail at all would be as
Impossible a the glv:ng of a higher
amount The fact that these small
amounts have been fixed, however, is
not of much persuasive value In the!
consideration of the matter before the
court nt this time, for the reason thu.
while the amounts fixed hac been
small, I have been unable to discover
that any defendant In as grave a case
as this was over released upon such
amounts, and I doubt not If there hud
been any prospect of their being so
released, an application would havo
been made to increase the bail
"Nor does the court obtain much aid
from the decisions of the courts ol
other states, there being no dt i I ill tl
of our own supremo court which
bears upon the subject. A number
of the easo which have boon cited
are cases Involving capital punish
ment. but It must be remembered that
In most of those cases at leas lh
ball is not allowed nt all where the
proof is evident or the presumption
strong, and therefore before admit
ting to ball In those cases the court
has found that the proof la not evi
dent and that the presumption Is no',
strong and therefore of course lesser
amounts would be required than
where the presumption of guilt pre
vails. Tho amounts have van t s i
greatly In other cases thut they also
are not of much persuasive force. Fo
Instance. In tho case of United States
'6. Lawrence, reported In 4 (.'ranch.
C C 618. case No 16.577 federal lu
sob. a defendant charged with assauli
with Intent lo commit murder upon
the president of the United States,
Oenerul Jackson, was admitted to bail
in the sum of 11,600, whereas In the
case of ex parte Ryan. 44 Cal. 665,
the supreme court of California ht-iti
fhnl in tlw man n( nn aanunll villi,
intent to commit Wurder, bail In Kie
sum of $15,000 was not per Be ex
cessive, though the court said If it
were fixing the ball originally it rnlglit
not fix It in so large an amount.
"It seems to the court finnaly. lhat
to fix ball In the sum of 120,000, ay
fixed by the committing magistrate
in this case, Is to make bail prohiu
Itory and to deprive the defendant ot
hlB constitutional right, and i' seem.-,
to the court, talcing into consideration
all the elements which can be cousid
ered upon an application of this sort,
that ball in the sum of $12,000 is saf
flclenl. it being understood thai inls
amount Is fixed in pursuance of the
statute requiring the court to fix ball
and shall be without prejudice to a
further application for tho reduction
of the ball, upon the presentation lo
the court of any facts which would
Justify the court in so doing.
I s so ordered "

erness. His confidence In his ability
to stay with Harbertson was shown
after his last bout, when he offered to
bet that he could defeat the local man
in a finish match Another doubt as
to Harbertson's ability to come out
winner is the fact that Long realized
i r seriouBly the main cause of his
defeat by Chester which was lack of
form and ha6 ben working steadily
and hard slnco then to tet hacU Into

a match last night in Boulder, Colo.,

Despite the fact that some bets have

Harbertson Is full of confidence as to
his ability to turn the double trick on
Tuesday night at the Orpheum He
Is practically down to his best weight
