United State Commissioner R. D. Neely was under fire at the federal building yesterday for permitting the release from jail last Thursday of W. H. Bone, who confessed Sat urday night to being the man. who smuggled into the county jail re volvers, cartridges and saws with which 12 federal prisoners planned -to accomplish a general jail delivery. Bone in his confession stated he passed the jail delivery materials to prisoners at the jail last Friday afternoon, the day after his release .was made possible through a "sob" . plea presented to Commissioner Neely by Mrs. Birdie Wharton, 4312 Seward street, with whom Bone had been boarding for two months. Following Mrs. Wharton's plea, Bone was released on his ownecog nizance and on a temporary bond signed by Mrs. Wharton, who later failed to qualify as a property holder for the $1,000 bond required. Assistant United States District Attorney Frank A. Peterson said the Bone case should result in more care in accepting bonds for prison ers held to the federal grand jury and declared releases in all cases should not be ordered until after investigation of questionable bonds men, j Postoffice Inspector Coble and deputies in United States Mar shal Flyun's office also criticized action in relasing prisoners on in adequate bonds.
