NEWTON  B.  PARKER
WANTS  $500  BOND
----------
Preliminary Examination Is
Waived by Defendant --
Witness From Cincinnati
On Hand for the Trial.
----------

          O. L. Balanger,  assistant cashier of the American National bank of Cincinnati, came to Shelbyville this afternoon for the purpose of appearing as a witness in the trial of  Newton B. Parker,  who was arrested here last evening charged with passing a worthless check.  Parker's preliminary hearing was set for this afternoon at 2 o'clock before  Mayor Swain.  When the case came up the defendant wanted it postponed for a few days, saying he was not ready for trial.  The mayor refused to continue the case because he explained there would be nothing gained by it as the bond would be the smae in either case.
          The defendant was not represented by counsel and gave that as an excuse for not being ready, saying that the sheriff would not let him get an attorney.  However, the court offered to get him any kind of an attorney that he wanted and the defendant then decided to waive preliminary hearing and his bond was fixed at $500.  He also objected the size of the bond, saying he could not furnish it.  But the court made it plain that he would have to dig up the $500 bond or go back to jail, because he would take no chances on his jumping the bond, as he might do if it was a small one.
