CONVICT AIDED
BY LEGAL FLAW
Twist In Divorce Law Gives
LITER Chance For
Freedom

LINCOLN, Neb.. Aug. 6.-Pl-
Fate turned a flip-flop for Robert
r.. Garrett, convicted and sentenced
TO life Imprisonment for brutal STAY
ing in the rugged Nebraska sand
hills region.
Through a queer twist In a Is
year-old divorce law his sentence
has been lifted by q one-day mar
gin and he has a good chance -
win freedom.
CARROTS estranged and presum-
ably divorced wife convicted him
with her testimony. She was the
only witness of the killing Of Will
liam Kinsley. the ranchman for
whom she was acting as house
keeper.
The packed courtroom "a tense
as she took the witness stand and
told her dramatic story, accusing
Garrett.
She told how Kinsley was shot
down as he passed the living
room window at the ranch - the
roar Of the gun-his fall. Then she
ran to the window, peered out. and
sew a figure crouching in the gloom,
smoking gun in hand. The figure
was Garrett. she testified.
Levelling the gun at her he took
her many miles into the country
before releasing her, she said.
Garrett denied that story. denied
the Staying. and as the trial pro-
crossed produced an alibi TO show
he was many miles from the scene
of the Staying. But the jury be-
lieved the woman.
Just as he had grown accustomed
to his prison life, after two years,
the supreme court sustained his APP
peal and sent the cas- back.
Nebraska laws require that a wife
must wait six months after asking
a divorce before the writ a be
granted. It was designed to pro-
mote cancellations. Mrs. CARROTS
writ had been obtained n day be-
fore the six months expired and of
the time Of the Staying and the trial.
she was still his wife. and there
fore could not testify against him.
Now IL is the states turn to seek
loopholes and technicalities in the
law. IN the meantime Garrett Is
held in prison. awaiting retrial.
The law, the supreme court ruled.
