marked end of his four-day semi-imprisonment in his Prague

'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-
