Must answer in District Court to
 Robbery Charge.

     Unless the supreme court once more 
orders his release, "Jim" Grady will have to 
answer in the district court to the charge of 
robbery.

     His preliminary examination before 
Justice Fraser was concluded Wednesday 
evening and an order was made holding him 
for trial.  Bond was fixed at $5,000., an 
amount his attorneys declared to be 
excessive and vainly sought to have 
reduced.

     Twenty-two witnesses were examined for 
the prosecution, which was conducted by O. 
F. Goddard and the county attorney.  At the 
conclusion of the state's presentation of its 
case the defense moved for a dismissal, 
which the court overruled and announced 
the bail in which he had decided to hold the 
prisoner, the defense declining to introduce
testimony.  This was followed by a motion to 
lessen the amount, which was also denied.

     It was intimated by Hathhorn & Groves, 
Grad's lawyers, that application for a writ of 
habeas corpus might be made to the 
supreme court, which tribunal some weeks 
ago ordered his discharge from custody on 
the charge of being an accomplice in the 
murder of Robert T. Hannah, a crime that 
was one of the outcomes of the robbery in 
which Grady is said to have been implicated.
