BAIL REFUSED
Dick Springfield and Jack McDade Are Refused Bail — Defendants Will Appeal.
CALDWELL, Tex., June 11. — District court, judge S.B. McFarland presiding, has been occupied to-day in hearing the application of Jack McDade and R.T. Springfield for bail under a writ of habeas corpus, and the examination has just been concluded. The defendants, by the examination court at Hempstead, where the offense was committed, were sent to the Brenham jail for safe-keeping. By consent of both parties defendants were not present at the examination to-day, but were represented by H.H. Boone of Navasota, Harvey and Brown of Hempstead and Muse, Bassett and Muse of Brenham. The state was represented by Major Sam. G. Ragsdale, district attorney of this judicial district, and Pinckney, a lawyer of Hempstead. The testimony was voluminous. After an able argument of the case by Major B.H. Bassett and Clarence Muse for the applicants, and Major Ragsdale and Mr. Pinckney for the state, the court refused the defendants bail. Defendants will appeal.
