Bail Set At $100000 For Maverick Bank Director
President Potter of the wrecked Maverick Bank and Deputy Marshal Galloyne arrived in Cohasset as the directors' arraignment was fixed for noon before United States Commissioner Hallett. The government argued for $200,000 bail to ensure appearance, citing the Constitution’s protection against excessive bail, while Potter posted $100,000 with Braman as surety after the commissioner cautioned bail must secure attendance, not punish. The judge noted the charges are a misdemeanor with max ten years, urging calm, discretion, and that bail should not amount to punishment or enable flight.
