After his conviction in February Sparrow appealed to the Supreme 1 Court and in May the court re fused to set aside the verdict or grant a new trial. '' For some over a week while the court sought to commit Sparrow after the appeal was denied he was missing but finally turned up with a temporary restraining order signed by Judge Paul Frizzelle of Snow Hill, which forbid the im prisonment of Sparrow until a hearing was given him on new evidence which he had procured from a prisoner serving time -a Leavenworth Federal Prison, which Sparrow and his counsel contends is sufficient to merit a re-trial of the charge. Late in June Judge Moore re viewed the new evidence and de nied the petition for a new trial. In the meantime Sparrow has been committed to prison to begin serv ing his time. But Judge Moore’s ruling did not prohibit an appeal to the supreme court of the petition for a new trial and it was on that basis that the writ of habeas cbrpus was ob tained and freed Sparrow last week. His hearing before the Supreme Court cannot take place earlier than this fall, which means that he win remain free under $5,0» bond until at least that time, and4 if the court rules in his favor, he will then remain free Until the ease can be tried again in Wayne County’s Superior Court.
