She admitted the man in the photograph was Bob Nevils, but denied ever
knowing he was also
Harvey Logan
or
Kid Curry, denied knowing where he got the money, and never heard of
the train robbery until her arrest. Judge Hart must not have believed any
of these corkers because he proceeded to set bail at $2,500, considerably
higher than the $1,000 Annie had requested. Even the indomitable Fannie Porter
was unable, or unwilling, to pay such a high bail despite
Annie's tearful
entreaties. Sobbing uncontrollably, Annie was led back to her jail cell
where she languished for almost two months until her next day in court.
June 14th saw the same cast of characters in court: defense attorney West,
prosecutor Vaughn, and Judge Hart. A plethora of prosecution witnesses
were called including bank employees, hotel employees, and detectives,
each telling his tale.
