NOW KENNEDY THINKS OTHERWISE Attorney Thomas J. L. Kennedy Tuesday kicked a dent a mile deep into the practice of holding witnesses in Jat! without bonds and without any charce. Only a short time ago, Kennedy, then deputy prosecuting attorney, stoutly defended the practice. With Attorney William Rhine, Kennedy began habeas corpus pro- | ceedings to obtain the release of Dorothy Volger, the 1$-yearold girl held as a witness in connection with burglary charges developed since | the death of Howard L. Jones, the boy killed by policemen who caught | him looting a home tn the north end. Kennedy contended that a charge either must be placed against her to keep her tn jall, or else a reasonable bond must be fixed to insure her appearance as a witness, and that she has the right, under the constitution, to be present in court when the bond ts fixed The custom bas been in the pant to slap a big bond, which usually could not be furnished, onto a witness: “Haan't it been your custom to keep witnesses in jail and to fix bonds without giving them a chance to be heard {n court?” was one of the questions propounded to Kennedy during the argument tn Judge | Albertson’ » court. | %.. replied Kennqy, “but I was then acting under Instructions | superior.” Albertson ruled in favor of Kennedy's Volger's bond was fixed at $100. cilent and Miss WONDER WHAT B.C.
