OPINION PER CURIAM, September 11, 1969:

Order affirmed.

CONCURRING OPINION BY WRIGHT, P.J.:

Pretrial or preventive detention is not the issue in these appeals. The court below set reasonable bail in each case. What appellants actually request is that, since they are indigents, they should be released without any bail whatever. This request was properly refused by the court below, and it is that action which we are affirming.
