According to CircuitCourt rec ords, Haltom was tried during the February term on a two- count indictment charging him with a break-in at the offices of Wilson Chevrolet-Cadillac Inc of Paducah on Dec. 9, 1971, and with taking a 1967 Cadillac from Wilson without the knowledge and consent of the owner. The case resulted in a hung jury and is scheduled to come before Circuit Court for further action on arraignment day during the August term of court.

However, in a May hearing in Circuit Court, on a motion by Haltom's attorney, the $3,000 bond was reduced to $2,000, with a notation on the court order that if Haltom executes the $2,000 bond on the two-count indictment the court will recognize him on the $2,000 bond on the dwelling house breaking indictment. The letter also calls the bail bonding investigation committee appointed by Mayor Dolly Mc Nutt and County Judge Andrew Palmer a "Kangaroo Kourt (sic)." In addition, it main tains that some members of the nine-man group are not qualified to investigate anyone and; "should be investigated themselves." The letter notes that Haltom has come before Burkhart in City Court in several eases, and "although I was not satisfied sometimes with your decisions I cannot say that you ever did treat me unfairly." The letter concludes by calling for a "complete and thorough investigation" of Circuit Court. Burkhart had no comment when he released the letter. One Kentucky Delegate Slept MIAMI BEACH, Fla.
