Bond actions in DC court involve Means and Gaston F Pecane

May 11 report from Washington DC notes Justice James M Proctor authorized release of Gaston F Pecane on a $50,000 bond. The same day Means, indicted for larceny and embezzlement of $104,000 from Mrs Edward B McLean, had his bond reduced from $100,000 to $450,000 but success in posting remained uncertain. A bondsman proposal faced United States Attorney Leo A Rover opposition. Authorities also probe a claim Means gathered $100,000 from Mrs Finley Shepard linked to Lindbergh baby ransom. Shepard, Gould family connections, and anti Bolshevism comments figure in the broader context of threats against Shepard and her daughter.
