Benet Is Now at Liberty on Bail Judge Mackey Accepts a $1000 Bond His Hearing Set to be Heard on November 8 Papino Getting Along Well—His Temperature Normal, His Physicians Expect Him to Recover
City Marshal Charles H Benet who is charged with having shot and painfully wounded Alderman John Papino in the City Council chamber on Thursday night, and has since been in custody on his own volition, was made a legal prisoner last night, as a warrant was sworn out charing him with assault with intent to kill.
This morning accompanied by his counsel, Albert H Mickler, Benet appeared at Justice Mackey's court and was admitted to bail in the sum of $1000 to appear at a hearing to be held on Nov 8. Bail was very promptly furnished. Messrs B Genovar and Barnard Masters being his bondsmen.
Mr. Benet appeared cool and collected. He has been instructed by his counsel to say nothing for publication and will not talk about the case.
Dr JK Ralney, who is one of the physicians in attendance upon the wounded man, said today to a Record representative that Papino was doing very nicely, and unless inflammation set in he would doubtless recover.
When I saw him this morning, said the doctor, he was resting easy and his temperature was normal, with no indication of fever. I do not mean by this that he is out of danger, as inflammation may yet set in which my be fatal; but from his present condition there is little to fear
The Marshall Suspended The application for admission to bail was quietly made, and Mayor Boyce was unaware that the Marshal had been released, until after dinner. The Mayor immediately made out a notice suspending him from duty.
