Chapter 33, Page 316—A

The next morning I was taken to a courthouse and jammed into a crowded bullpen. After half an hour I was called into the courtroom. I stepped through the door and into a paneled world of man-made justice, with its row upon row of spectator-filled benches and its black-robed judge shuffling men’s histories on white papers. I looked around for familiar faces, expecting none. I found two: big hara and little hara. They took their places behind me, and big hara said in a low whisper, “Good luck.” The district attorney said something to the judge. Another guy read off the charges against me. The judge said something and the district attorney said that my crimes had been serious and people had been hurt. The judge mentioned that I had been incarcerated for six years. The D.A. said that until investigation and probation reports and so on had been made no disposition could be made; he asked that I be held in $5,000 bail on each count.

Where did Piri go?
Who did he see there?
How much bail was Piri held on for each count?
