Newspaper Page TextThe Marietta Tonrnal JOURNAL, ESTABL.ISHED 1866. VOL. 48. BANDIT BOUND OVER 10 THE ERAND JURY Solicitor Clay Wins First Point. Judge Greer Set Bond et £4OOO. James Nolan, the man arrested in Atlanta, and suspected of holding up the N. C. and St. L. passenger train about two weeks ago, was brought to Marietta on Monday night and given a preliminary hearing before Judge B. V. Greer on Tuesday af ternoon. His attorney waived exami nation and asked that Nolan be al lowed to give bond. Solicitor Gen eral Clay did not object to bond but asked that the sum be made large enough to afford security for the State. Nolan’s attorney argued that the bond be made reasonable and express the opinion that two thous and dollars would be about right. (Chas. H. Griffin, assisting Solicitor General Clay, asked for the sum of five thousand dollars with the result that Judge Greer assessed the sum of four thousand dollars. No effort was made by the prisoner to make the bond and he was taken back to jail by deputy sheriff Hicks. No witnesses were put up by eith er side but each side declared its ability to.substantiate its contention. The State’s attorney’s declared three witnesses would make positive identification and the defense ar gued that they could prove a posi tive alibi. Nolan will remain in jail in Mar ietta until his case is tried. It will be placed before the March Term Grand Jury. The men who were arrested in At lanta last week are being held for other crimes until Nolan can be giv en an examination.
