Raleigh, May 29—Henry Dennis Griffin got his freedom from the State prison today when the big $30,000 bond, duly fixed up, reached the institution and released him for his appeal to the Supreme Court.
Griffin would have lost his right to review had Attorney General Brummitt not overruled Judge N.A. Sinclair and Solicitor Don Gilliam. They held that failure to perfect his appeal with a $50 appearance bond had destroyed his chance. But the attorney general gave him that right. The Fall term will decide the issue.
