G. S. L. City, . Bishop Thomas Callister: Elder W. Woodruff has received from bro. Ashman several letters and a telegram in relation to the disgraceful charges preferred against Orlando Warner, concerning which bro. Geo. A. has also received a letter from you. So far as we can learn the excitement against Judge King is in consequence of his having admitted Warner to bail, and whether the Judge accepted an illegal bond or admitted Warner on his own recognisance has not transpired. That Judge King would have the right to admit Warner to bail to a regular term of court by taking ample security is established by precedent. The bail would necessarily have to be high because in chap. 22, Sec. 16, of laws of Utah the pun- ishment for such a crime is imprisonment for life or not less than ten years. We would regard a bond for $3000.00 executed in proper form, conditioned for the peaceful demeanor of the accused as well as his appearance at court to answer as sufficient. Art. 7 of the amendments to the Constitution says: Excessive bail shall not be required.
