$8 Million Bail for Cleveland Kidnapping Suspect CLEVELAND - A judge ordered the man accused in the kidnapping of three women and a young child to be held on $8 million bail, $2 million for each case, on Thursday morning. The man, Ariel Castro, 52, appeared in court for the first time since his arrest during an arraignment hearing in municipal court in Cleveland. Mr. Castro did not speak and kept his head down and his eyes lowered during the proceedings. The hearing came a day after Mr. Castro was charged with the rape and kidnapping of Amanda Berry, held 10 years; Gina DeJesus, held 9 years; and Michelle Knight, held 11 years. He was also charged with kidnapping the 6-year-old daughter Ms. Berry gave birth to, and the authorities said he would undergo a paternity test. Prosecutors had requested a high bond during the hearing and described the decade of abuse as a "horrifying ordeal," in which the women were beaten, bound, restrained and sexually assaulted. Mr. Castro's lawyer argued for a lower bond, noting that he had lived in the city for 39 years and had no prior felony convictions. Mr. Castro's brothers Onil Castro, 50, and Pedro Castro, 54, also appeared in court on Thursday morning to sort out prior misdemeanor charges not related to the kidnapping case. The judge, Lauren Moore, released the two brothers. Pedro Castro was fined $100 after pleading no contest to an open-container charge. The charges against Onil Castro for drug abuse and having an open container were dismissed. New details have continued to emerge about the women's years in captivity, including that they never left the house except for two brief visits to the adjacent garage, the police said. According to a Cleveland police report obtained by The New York Times, officers who responded to a 911 call after Ms. Berry was freed checked the basement of Mr. Castro's house, and finding no one, headed upstairs, one officer yelling "Cleveland police!" Ms. Knight "ran and threw herself" into an officer's arms, followed by Ms. DeJesus, who "jumped into my arms," the officer wrote. "All three women victims stated that Ariel chained them up in the basement, but eventually he let them free from the chains and let them live upstairs on the second floor," the report said. Ms. Knight told officers that Mr. Castro had impregnated her multiple times. In each case, the report said, he starved her and then punched her repeatedly in the stomach until she miscarried. As Ms. DeJesus, now 23, and Ms. Berry, 27, returned joyfully to their families" homes on Wednesday, other details of their ordeal emerged. A cousin of Ms. DeJesus, last seen in 2004 at age 14 while walking from school, confirmed that the women were "kept in the basement like dogs." The cousin, who asked not to be named to protect the family's privacy, said relatives spoke by speakerphone with Ms. DeJesus before her return. Although she asked relatives not to inquire about her captivity, she described the way Mr. Castro marked the anniversaries of the kidnappings by serving dinner and a cake. "He would celebrate their abduction day as their new birthday," the cousin said. Neighbors of the Castro family - which owns at least two other homes in the Tremont district of Cleveland - recalled visits by Mr. Castro accompanied by a young girl they suspected was Ms. Berry's daughter. The police report said that Ms. Berry delivered her baby in the house into a plastic pool and that Ms. Knight acted as the midwife. According to the report, Ms. Knight told the police that Mr. Castro warned that he would kill her if the baby died. Ms. Knight stated that the baby stopped breathing at one point "but she breathed into her mouth and "breathed for her" to keep her alive." The child was never told the names of the two other women in the house in case she uttered the names in public. Nelson Martinez, 54, a cousin of Mr. Castro, said Mr. Castro visited him in Parma, Ohio, with a child he introduced as his granddaughter two or three years ago. "She looked healthy and happy and looked as though she liked being with her "granddaddy," " Mr. Martinez said. She had on clean clothes, like a normal little girl, and she seemed alert and talked. Ms. Knight, the oldest of the women and the longest held, was the only one who had not been released to relatives yet. She remained hospitalized in the MetroHealth Medical Center. The city of Cleveland on Wednesday released segments of audiotape from the dispatch call that sent a police cruiser to Seymour Avenue in response to Ms. Berry's 911 call after being freed by neighbors who had heard her cries. The dispatcher said a woman had called saying that she was Amanda Berry and had been kidnapped for 10 years. Soon after the cruiser arrived at the house where Ms. Berry was waiting, an officer was heard to say, "This might be for real." A few minutes later, in another tape segment, the officers" voices took on urgency. "There might be others in the house," an officer said, sounding stressed and somewhat bewildered. Then, "Gina DeJesus might be in this house, also." In a later segment, an officer was heard to say: "We found them. We found them. Trip Gabriel reported from Cleveland, and Serge F.
