STATE ASKS CONTINUANCE

In Haynes Case, Casualty Co. Agent In Which Remington People Lost Money. Indianapolis, Nov. 29.-—The state in criminal court yesterday was compelled to obtain a continuance o£, the case against Garey Haynes, charged with embezzlement of money from the Columbia Casualty Company, now in the hands of a receiver, because the defense insisted it was ready for trial and that the state was endeavoring to deprive Haynes of a right given him by the statutes to trial within three terms of court. Prosecutor Baker said in court that he had anticipated a request for a continuance and had set the case simply to 'save’’ the case. Charles J. Or bison, appearing as chief counsel for the defense, objected to a continuance by the state, asserting that his side had made all preparations for trial and that a continuance would be a hardship on Haynes. Baker replied that the case had not been set previously because attorneys for Haynes had asked that it be kept off the court calendar. Judge Markey said he would give a delay of one week. The state asked two weeks. The state intimated that it will ask a trial by jury, although the defense indicated a willingness to waive that right. -Haynes is alleged to fa-gve been implicated in a real estate deal in which funds of the company were invested at a high figure in property which had been purchased at a comparatively low" price. He now resides in Texas.
