DOVER, Del. Feb. 16.-In Kent County
Court this morning Walter II. Hayes, of
Wilmington, and Thomas Frame, OF
Dover, counsel for former sheriff William
+. Hartnett asked for a continuance Of
the two charges against Mr.. Hartnett un-
I'll the next ter moi court The reason for
asking for a continuance was that Mr.

Mr.. Hartnett attempting to obtain money
under false pretenses and obtaining money
under false pretenses from the county.

being detained and the county was being
put to an expense for their keep. and
also that one continuance already had
been granted.

The program included Goldmarll's over

AS will be observed, the program was
