MAY BE FREED ON BOND
The recent "~epeal of a law en-
acted by the West Virginia Leg-
islature in 1931, that denied bail
to any prisoner after conviction,
pending an appeal to the Supreme
Court of Appeals, has given hope
of at least temporary freedom to
two prisoners in the Charles Town
jail. Dr. Chester Wainwright and
Samuel Manstoff are the prospec-
tive beneficiaries, both having
been in jail since last Fall await-
ing the outcome of an appeal for
a writ of error. Their release on
bond depends upon the judge of
the Circuit Court.
