Hefty Bail For Chowchilla Trio
Three men accused of abducting 26 school children and their driver remain jailed on $1 million bail each. James and Richard Schoenfeld and Frederick Woods face 43 felony charges and a preliminary hearing was set for August 26 while prosecutors push to present the case to a grand jury. A gag order on evidence is in effect as the trio and a crowd of townspeople observed the procession to a Chowchilla airstrip after the hearing.
