Peculiar Bond Forfeiture Cases In Two Counties
In Page and Shelby counties courts adjudicate bonds posted for defendants who flee. Elmers Hamilton posted $X,000 with sureties John Irwin Jr and John Kendall. Hamilton fled to Texas, was later captured in Mexico and returned to Page County where he was convicted of robbery and sent to prison. The court ruled the bond obligation remains in force due to the defendant’s absence, not his eventual capture.
