ANNAPOLIS, Md, Dec. 16.-A
Baltimore attorney argued yes
terday that a defendant cannot
be denied speedy trial simply be-
cause he's locked up in the Mary

He is serving 10 years for auto
theft, receiving stolen goods and
unauthorized use of an auto. The

we're filed in Prince Georges
County on five counts charging
robbery. assault to rob-. simple
assault, larceny and receiving
stolen goods.
Court records did not describe
the cases involved.
Defending Harris, Mr.. Kadans
insisted the prisoner has been
asking Prince Georges authorities
by mail for the last two years tc
let him stand trial.
Assistant Attorney General
Harrison L. Winter replied that
before this year Harris apparently
had written only to seek informa-
ton.
Trial was ordered last July.
Harris appeared under armed
guard at Upper Marlboro in
Prince Georges. Kadans then
moved to quash the indictment,
charging delay. The county court
refused.
