outlandish clothes. and the idlers on
the beach cannot help but sigh, The

The three farmers, Mcdaniel. Sparks

COURT fixes DATE
FOR KENNEY TRIAL
Case in Which He is Ac-
cuSed Will Be Heard
on April 20
RIDGELY AND OTHERS
TO BE TRIED ALSO

Tuesday, April 20. was today set
for the trial Of former United States
Senator Richard r. Kenney in the
United States District Court under an
indictment charging him having
conspired TO commit an offenst
against the United States by using ths
mails to defraud. Those who will be
tried with former Senator Kenney
are: Daniel NJ. Ridgely and Ronald
f. Brennan. of Dover; Frank w.
Anthony, w. Claire Anthony and
Harry A. Woodcock, of New York. The
indictments against Kenney and the
others covers II typewritten pages
and contains ten counts. Each OF the
various counts contains a specific
charge that a letter or postal card
has been sent through the mails in
violation of postal laws.
There is much speculation as TO
what effect the abrupt ending of the
first of the insurance cases yesterday
will have on Case No. 2. involving
Kenney. The end came yesterday af-
dlltl a ANANonf
taken at the request OF United States
District Attorney John p. Nields. Mr..
Nields then entered a nolle prosecute
as to counts 5, z, 8. 9 and 10 of Case
No. 1, leaving counts 1 and Of the
indictment.
Meyer Steinbrink, of counsel for
Brennan, who was in conference with
Mr.. Nields during the recess. said
Brennan wished to plead guilty TO
these two counts. The first count
refers to a letter of the Mercantile
Fire and Insurance Company to Wal
ter A. Sykes, of Indiana, signed II.
w. Mumford, and count No. refers
to letter of the Capitol Fire Under
writer's to Roy ID. Clark, of Columbia.
Alabama. The two Anthonys, father
and son, who are without counsel,
also pleaded guilty to these counts.
This ended the case as the case
against Woodcock had been dropped
by the Government in the morning.
Woodcocx returned to New York
yesterday morning but came back this
morning and appeared in Court at
11.20, when the order setting April
20 for the second case was formally
set
Brennan and the Anthonys were
yesterday afternoon turned over to
the marshal and later taken TO the
workhouse Il is not likely that SEN
tence will be imposed on them until
after the trial Of the other cases.
The third case is against Brennan
and Benjamin ID. Jacobs. Jacobs has
never been apprehended.

Motion To Return Him To

Denied By Court
WILL APPEAL TO
SUPREME COURT
By The United Press.

By The United Press.
NEW YORK, March 16.-New
habeas corpus proceedings to finally
test Harry X. Thaw's sanity and right
TO freedom were begun today. after
Supreme Court Justice Page denied
Thaw's motion 70 be returned % Nuw
Hampshire.
Thaw secured a habeas corpus writ
from Justice Blur. had il served on
the Tombs warden and Sheriff Grifen-
hagen before Justice Pages ruling
and thus prevented Matteawan au-
thOrities from Immediately seizing
him. Next Friday sanity hearings Will
be begun before Justice BLUR. with
Thaw meanwhile remaining in the
Tombs
In his opinion denying Thaw's mo-
tion to be returned to New Hamp-
shire. Justice Page pointed out that
Thaw had never been discharged
from Matteawan and therefore the
original order of Justice Bowling, de-
claring him insane and sending him
TO Matteawan is in force. Justice
Page ordered that Thaw be returned
to the authorities at Matteawan or to
any authorities designated by any
other branch of the court. The final
part of this ruling covered today's
writ of habeas corpus and under that
Thaw blocked his return to Mattea-
wan at least until March 19. Before
that time II is expected that he will
again carry his case to the Supreme
Court.
Justice Page made il clear i'm his
ruling that the State OF New York had
shown no lack of good faith. The in
dictment and the trial on the con-
spiracy charges were regular and
we're carried through. he ruled. He
declared. however, that the States
right to returning Thaw TO Matteawan
is unquestioned. He asserted that as
Thaw is an escaped prisoner from
Matteawan the State Of New York does
not have to return him to New Hamp-
shire. How he was brought back to
New York does not make any differ
ence in the case, he ruled. Thaw will
appeal.
