Private citizens are listed as sureties on the bonds. They Include E. M. Conley, Prof. C. Englehardt, and John Glenn and wife. Glenn, former county Jailer was acquitted by circuit court Jury, July 4, on a ballot-theft charge. Schermerhorn appeared in couit this morning, with counsel, prepared to return to the office, if and when, his bonds were approved. Hts attor ney. Prank J. Nwmon, threatened mandamus proceedlne, to compel the court to accept them. Remark Protested Attorney Newman in the course oT his comment, declared, "no official can now get a surety bond in Jackson county." Deputy District Attorney Nellson protested the remark Bonds of Appointee-Sheriff Olm- achetd, provided when he was named by the governor to the post, when Schermerhorn was ousted by executive order, have nine months to run. Olm acheid was originally appointed for a 90-day period which expired July S last. The court held that Olmscheld was "sheriff de facto." and further com mented, that it was "moot question' he did not care to decide. Attorney A. C. Hough, counsel for Phl. offered to provide legal authori ties upon the Issue. The defense contended that the , conviction of Schermerhorn. until it Is affirmed by a high court, has no bearing upon his qualifications to act as sheriff. Many Question Action Legal action to block the appoint ment is- anticipated, and it is ex pected that the opinion either of the state supreme court, or the attorney general will be sought, to settle the controversy. The state's Interests in the absence of Assistant Attorney General Moody, on his honeymoon, were safeguarded by Deputy District Attorney George W. Nellson. Moody Is expected to re turn late today.

The law provides that when the ahertff is disqualified from acting, for any reason, the coroner ahall per form the duties. Coroner Perl was delegated by the court, to summon the Jury list to report at 9:30 o'clock in the morning. The ihertlTi office will aid him in this work. Gordon L.
