United States America v. Larry Kenneth

BYRNE, District Judge: A complaint filed with a United States Commissioner charged Larry Kenneth Gonware with a violation of Title 18, United States
Code, Section 495, forgery of a United States Treasury Check. The appellant, Glenn Holmes Bail Bond Agency, agent for the
Resolute Insurance Company, posted bail on May 9, 1968, in the amount set by the Commissioner of $2000. A Federal Grand Jury
thereafter indicted Gonware for violation of 18 U.S.C. § 495. At the arraignment, June 3, 1968, the District Court continued
the bail previously posted before the Commissioner. One week later, Gonware appeared before the Court and entered a plea of
guilty. The Court continued the case to June 24, 1968, referring it to the probation office for an investigation and report.
On June 24, 1968, the Court sentenced the defendant to imprisonment for three years. Upon the defendant's motion, the Court
stayed execution of the sentence for two days until noon, June 26, 1968. The District Court ordered Gonware to report to the
United States Marshal at that time.
