Charlotte, April 30—The federal district attorney’s office here today withdrew the detainer pending for years against Sidna Allen of Virginia, according to announcement by Kenneth J. Kindley, assistant district attorney. Mr. Kindley said the charge against Allen in this district was perjury, which grew out of his testimony in his trial on a charge of counterfeiting in district court at Greensboro years ago. Allen was acquitted of the counterfeiting charge and soon thereafter tried and convicted on a charge of perjury, according to Mr. Kindley. Allen appealed and it was while the appeal was pending and Allen was at Liberty under bond that the shooting at Hillsville, Va., occurred.
Mr. Kindley said that should the government decide to prosecute on the perjury charge against Allen, he could be re-arrested.
