A Grand Jury hearing on Sep- tember 14th returned a true bill and on November 2nd his case came before .a judge who remand- ed it to November 3rd and then the 4th when-the hearing finally commenced and continued for two days. Alibi Witnesses Brought to court April 2nd, Franklin was remanded to April let and later to May 5th. On that date he pleaded not guilty and elected to be tried by judge and jury. This meant a trial in the High Court. ‘ Grand Jury Indictment of Break-Enter and Theft togethâ€" er with Criminal Negligence were laid against the man and he was lodged in Richmond Hill Police Station cells.
