Now what are you going to do about it?” In Holliday's case Judge Cliffe late yesterday granted a.stay of sentence until December 18 when it was re- ported that the latter was trying to arrange a reduction in his sentence n case he disclosed where the money and bonds are hidden. b Holliday received the heaviest sen- tence of the six confessed robbers.
