At tho time tho Indictments wero returned Lofler was out of tho stato and, learning of their existence, decided to remain nway. Tho offenses under which he was Indicted not being extraditable, no effort was mado to securo his return. Several months ago his attorney put up . .uut.iM ..." a $300 cash bond for his appearanco at tins " term of cpurt. It being understood that tho lo ten years and three months In the penl medlcal concern which Loller represented i tentl.ry at Stillwater, Minn This la ex- had , inflated that the matter must be ' rlMrd nn.
