Heavy Bond Protested "This means he will be compelled to go to Jail," protested Floyd E. Thompson, former chief Justice of the Illinois supreme court, defender of Insull. "K the government thinks we are i bluffing, the government will find It Is mistaken. We cannot raise this amount. "When John Factor was held for removal to England recentlythe gov ernment only placed him under 450, 000 bond.' Federal Judge John P. Barnes lis tened briefly to the arguments. "The only question before the court," the Jurist said, "la the amount of ball which would reasonably as sure the presence of this defendant at his trial. "The question as to how much money or property a man has, has nothing to do with the amount of ball. Under the circumstances I am of the opinion that the suggestion of the government Is not excessive, Court Adamant Ziuull, to whom thousands wore paltry, saggod In his chair.

"We cannot ' make the bond." A physician and old friend, Dr. Ar thur Elliott, Joined them In the mar shal's office. Ur.iljjnrd to Jail "I sm resigned to Jail," the elder Insull was quoted by his son. Marshal Laubenhelmer said U was ltkoly insull would be removed to the Cook county Jail, where the county houses short term prisoners for the government for 88 cents a day. The bond assessed against the stricken monarch, once one of Amer ica's wenllhlrst men, was four times that of his younger, brother, Martin, Mid four times that furnished by Al Cnpone. the gang lord, tried And con victed by Prosecutor Dwlght Green.

Attorney Thompson said he might appeal the filing of bond to the U. 8. circuit court of .appeals. "But we may let him go out to the county Jail," Thompson said. "We are not asking for mercy.

He had a roll of money big enough to choke a cow," (Associated Press photo) Curious Present It was a new Chicago that met an older Insull In the ghostly morning light of the union depot. Musing were the handclasps of friends high In financial and busi ness and social circles. The crowds were there, to be sure.
