The archbishop was driven from his throne in St, Vitus' Cathedral .by screaming hecklers, apparently Communists, as he voiced defiance to what he called the Czechoslovakia n Com munist government's attempt to split up the Roman Catholic church in his country. (AP Wirephoto via radio from London) 'Getting Out On Bail' Procedure Involves Variety Of Conditions By CLARKE BEACH WASHINGTON. Jumplnft bail can be prettv expensive, a In the Gerhart Eisler case, for the people who put up the bail. But the people who furnished Eisler's ball aren't in so bad a hole aa they would have been once upon time. Eisler's bailers, the Civil Rights Congress, put up $23,500, which the government is now In the pro cess of seizing. Under old Eng lish law, bailers were personally responsible If the defendant was not on hand when the court de manded his presence. The bail ers were Jailed and were given whatever punishment would have been meted out to the defendant. Now the only bail that Is re-1 quired Is money or a bona. But the obligations and rights of bail ers are still regarded very seri ously by the courts. The bailer becomes, In effect, the Jailer of the person for whom he has fur nished a ball bond. He can personally take him In to custdy any time he deems it necessary to assure the defend ant's presence In court. If he thinks the man Is prepifllng to flee he can put handcuffs on him and turn him over to the police. If the defendant has already fled the bailer cap go after him and arrest him just like a policeman. Most bailers are professional bondsmen persons who make their living furnishing bail to de fendants In criminal cases. A lot of them get Into trouble with the authorities from time to time for various abuses, such as loitering around courthouses and working In cahoots with shyster lawyers and corrupt policemen. But many are respectable bus inessmen. And in almost all Juris dictions they have to be approved by the court before they can set up in business. The court must be satisfied not only that they are financially able to furnish bond but also that they are law-abiding, reputable citizens. Four Coutms Open In any case they frequently of fer the only hope of a prisoner's being released from Jail pending his trial or appeal from convic tion. If the Judge won't release a prisoner on his own recognizance (meaning he doesn't have to fur nish ball), he has few alterna tives. If the court has said it will free him provided he furnishes a certain amount of ball (It Is us ually a matter for the court's discretion), he can do one of four things: 1. Deposit his own cash with the court or give the court a Hen on any real estate he owns. 2. Get a friend or a friendly organization, such as the one Eisler used, to post cash or a bond. 3. Engage a professional bonds man. 4. Get a surety company to fur nish bail. But surety- companies very rarely provide bail In criminal cases. When they do, the defend ant usually is a man with sub stantial means and of high. repu tation. He posts collateral with the company, and the company furnishes the court with a bond which will be forfeited if he skips. As the survey companies work it, the transaction Is in the na ture of a loan, and it Isn't a very profitable business, as the maxi mum amount the company can charge in most Jurisdictions is two percent. Bondsmen Well Informed Professional bondsmen some times charge up to 15 percent of the amount of the bond. Many Jurisdictions set the maximum charge at five percent. When you want to get a pro fessional bondsman to bail you out of Jail, he'll often check on your record, see If you've ever been arrested before, ee If you are holding a steady job, learn something about your general reputation and find out what property you own. Many times, however, the bondsman is satisfied In the course of a half-hour Interview. He is used to working with per sons in the toils of the law and can size them up with uncanny accuracy. If the bond Isnt more than $500 or $1,000, and it the prisoner is an average citizen, he knows it is unlikely that the man will try to abscond. Even If the prls- WOOL NOTICE Southern Oregon Wool Pool ll receiving wool ot Pierce Auto Freight Depot, Roseburg Monday, June 27th, 8 A. M. to 4 P. M. Oakland Tuesday, June 28th, in the Morning.

I oner Is an underworld character, the bondsman often knows all about him and his associates.
