No evidence seems to have been found against Harriot and, although he remained in the Gatehouse for some while writing several letters requesting his release, he was a free man probably by the end of 1604.
Walang katibayan na tila ay natagpuan laban sa Harriot at, kahit na siya ay nanatili sa geythaws para sa ilang habang nagsusulat ng ilang mga titik na humihiling ng kanyang release, siya ay isang libreng man marahil sa katapusan ng 1604.
