Bail system blamed for release of Smith in larceny case
A local bail schedule used to fix release bail led to the release of W. W. Smith in a grand larceny case. Smith posted $1,250 with deputies and police, then officials disputed who set the amount. Justice Windt set bail at $1,000 for grand larceny and $250 for petty larceny, but Smith was released after cash was provided, prompting prosecutor Vanderveer and Sheriff Brown to question the process.
