Absence of Material Witnesses Proven
ted the Hearing of the Former Sheriff.
Because of the absence of material
witnesses for the defense, trial of the
charge against William F. Hartnett,
former sheriff of Kent county was
continued until the October term.
Mr.. HartnetJ renewed bail in the sum
of 1000. A lively tilt between
counsel followed the application of
Messrs. Hayes and Frame for contin-
uance for nartnett. Counsel sub
mitted an affidavit setting forth that
Miss Fora Clark, former Deputy
Sheriff John N. Thomas and John
Hartnett, former turnkey at the Jail,
were out of the jurisdiction of the
court and that the defense could not
go to trial without them. Attorney
General Gray opposed the continuance
taking the ground that the defense
should have kept the witnesses in the
state The court thought the applics-
tion was within the statute anC
