Show Slash in Bond Refused Kuhn NEW YORK, Sept. 30 (UP) Fritz Kuhn, leader of the German-American German-American bond, failed today to have his $50,000 bail reduced after an assistant district attorney said In supreme court that the high bond was due to Information so secret it could not be revealed "even at the request of the court" After the hearing Kuhn was taken back to Tombs prison to await trial sometime next month on charges of stealing $14,000 from the bund. "I cannot and will not even If your honor charges me to do so, reveal our Information or disclose the source of it" said Assistant District Attorney Herman McCarthy McCar-thy to Justice Thomas Noonan. James T. Neary, counsel for Kuhn, asked the court to treat Kuhn "as they treat people in his own country." "The additional ball of $45,000 was set" Neary said, "because some federal agent probably heard something' from one of Kuhn's enemies within the bund. There are many In the organization who are hostile and who would like to see him In jail." Kuhn spent his first full night In an American Jail last night He was originally held In bail of $5000 which was increased yesterday at I the district attorney's request |
