After half a day of testimony | from the defendants, prosecuting witness, investigating officers and others, Judge J. Vance Howe re jected the contention of H. F. Sea well, Jr., defense attorney, that the alleged crime was a figment of an alcoholic's imagination and solemnly said: "There is no question but that the prosecuting witness has told a story that, if believed, would convict the. defendants of rape. There is no evidence before the court that imagining such things is characteristic of an alcoholic or . that it is characteristic of her. I [ think a jury should hear this case and I bind the defendants over." j This means that the case will be presented to the grand jury at the January term of More coun " j ty superior court, when, if indict !ed by the grand jury, they will a I face trial by jury. $8,000 Bond Allowed -j In an unusual decision, which - he took several minutes to make, j Judge Rowe acceded to the de r.tense plea that bond be allowed, ?, J although the young men face trial ijon a capital charge, and the judge set "good, collectible bond of j $5000 each, in view of their youth and 'he circumstances the case."
