Bonds for Johnson at stake in court appeals and pending trials
Two bonds, a $15 000 surety and a $30 000 personal bond, would be forfeited if Johnson fails to appear for sentence or to stand trial on remaining white slave charges. A forfeiture transcript could be used to levy Johnson’s property in France, and the attorney general would pursue any negotiated seizure through the State Department. Johnson, in Paris, says he will fight to the highest courts and plans to return in the fall if defeated.
