Lyle says they have the right to a fair trial, but not to be |at large in the community when Icharges are-pending against them. He believes that no new laws are needed to restrain them from ma rauding while awalting trial, but only a change in court customs. He claims that the precedent whereby they, like all other classes of citizens, receive low bail is not founded on legal stat- utes, but on long-standing custom of jurists, and that in the professional criminal’s case it is time for a new precedent, high bail.

Furthermore, this crime crusader has a long public record in Chicago as a fighter. He has been an alderman, a dry leader and a frequent object of attack, usually ver- bal, sometimes with knuckles. There is another side to his character, evi- denced by smiling lines about the part of his eyes covered by large horn-rim glasses and the gentle inflections with which he remarks: “I have, been both mother and faker to 'my daughter since her have forfeited i | CHICAGO FIGHTING JUDGE’S PLAN Single-Handed Crusade Against Desperadoes, Using Bond Impossible to Secure as Bludgeon to Hold Men. mother died, and Il compare her withou' fear to any other woman in America.” | Formerly he pitched semi-pro bhase | ball in Wisconsin, Michigan and Iili- | nots, one of his catchers being | Krueger, later of the Brooklyn Na- | tionals. * His liking for competition his birthplace, when he determined to get an endowed he said “a rabbit could have floored me with a fair kick.” was a boy amounts from $50,000 to $200,000. is careful to specify the kind of pris- oner to whom he thinks such bonds | should apply, saying: “I have looked through perhaps 140,000 names in the record kept in Chicago concerning _professional or habitual offenders.
