IS FREEDQIBY COURT Writ for North Penn Tellor Is Continued Until After Hear ing September 4 ATTORNEYS IN TILTS F.lwood II. Strnng, former $35-n-week paying teller nt the wrecked North Penn Hank, who sought his liberty, or u reduction in the ,f.t."i,00fl bail under which he was held, through a writ of habeus corpus, failed in his attempt to doy. Judge McCiillcn, before whom the ar gument on the writ of habeas corpus was heard in Court of Quarter Sessions, sent Strnng back to his cell in Moya mensing to await the outcome of a hear ing Sepember 4 before Magistrate Rooney. Choice of two courses wns given Kd wnrd W. Wells, Strang's counsel, fol lowing verbal tilts between Mr. Wells unci Assistant District Attorney Tnul nnp. The judge declaied he would dismiss the writ, without prejudice to the dp fpndant. giving 'lim leave to make an other npplieaion for a writ of habeas corpus, or he would continue the hearing on the writ until September i". Strang's mwyrr accepted tne continuance. "I contend that tills man's commit ment is absolutely Illegal nnd that the S..ri,000 bail is excessive." Mr. Wells told the court. "We can give $10,000 bnil. The attitude of the prosecutor's office is clearly shown. They mean to depriye this man of his liberty icgnrd less of the amount of boil he may ob tain. ' Assistant District Attorney Taulane insisting that the $.1.1,000 ball stand, said Strang was charged witli the Jar- ccny of .$7000 nnd upward of the mon eys of tin- North Penn Hank, and of checks aggregating $.5.10,000 or more, ' and that he had been a fugitive from justice. He denied that a single bonu I fide offer to surrender Strang had been j made. "This defendant wns paying teller of the Nrth Penn Hank." said Mr. Tuu lnne, in refutation nf the argument nf his opponent that Strang had declared to him his innocence of wrongdoing, and thnt the bnil was too high. "The statement thnt has been made regarding overtures having been made to ns for his return is not accurate. No bona fide offer wns ever made us. They tried to toy with us. It amis all talk." In disposing of the writ. Judge Mc Cullen said : "While the $.1.1,000 bail under which Strnng is held may be thought exces sive, there may be other charges de veloped at his hearing and for this reason this court will not interfere at this time."
