Deuprey an saying that the only crime of which Roj could be e victed, assuming the charges implied the questions to be true, was extortion, and all the answers he could make would only go to show guilty knowledge. They would also tend to show that Chretien had been willing to back up a bogus heir by buying off other claimants, and by that means the fraudulent character of his acts could be more clearly shown. Judge Cabaniss ruled, however, that the Question came within the protection af- forded. the witness by the constitution, and o he ruled the question out. As a matter of fact, when the question was put to Rogers before Judge Troutt he denied that he had received any money from any one connected with the case. Deuprey then announced that he had finished with Rogers and had finished with the case against Chretien, and im- mediately Barnes arose and sald there was no defense. Barnes continued In a plea for low for Chretien. He sald the offense certainly one that permitted of bail, and he did not see why bonds of $10.000 had been fixed for a crime that {nvolved only $2300. He asked the court to reduce the bail when it bound the prisoner over to answer. Deuprey objected. He said it was not the amount involved so much as the character of the offense that should determine the amount -of the bail. and in the case of the prisoner, he said, the offense was ag- gravated by the fact that he had preved upon the estates of the dead and had for- ball was gotten his oath as an attorney, and had | attempted to violate the temple of justice itself. Such a bond as would insure the presence of the defendant. regardless of the amount involved, was the proper bail he thought. And then he called attention to the fact that Chretien had declared that he would go to the Orient if he couid, and he intimated that, unless the bail were fixed fairly high, ‘there was danger that the prisoner would not appear when he was wanted. The Judge thought a moment and then issued an ordér holding Chretien to an- swer before the Superior Court on a charge of forgery, with bail fixed at $10.- 0—what it was before. There is another charge hanging over Chretien, so it is safe to say he will remain in jail. The stoppage of proceedings before the Police Court regarding Rogers’ connection with the probate frauds is only a respite, for the case is_still under consideration by the Grand Jury, and it will probably be taken up next Friday, for the jury has been awaiting developments in the lower | tribunal.
