Judge Miller Sets Bail and Notes Appeals Path
Judge Miller issued a formal paper filing order and questioned bail. Frank Hume, a known dealer who twice sought Democratic congress nomination from Virginia, signed bonds of 500 each for three convicted commonweal trustees. The law prescribes fines up to 100 and up to sixty days in jail per offense with possible imprisonment or both. The District court reorganization bars an appellate police court, making habeas corpus and certiorari the only appeals. Attorney Lipscomb may pursue such an extraordinary petition, which does not halt sentence during pending review.
