Tarbutton, sheriff of Caroline county, and Wesley Thawley, lawyer and former State's Attorney of Caroline county, yesterday were reprimanded by Judge William C. Coleman, in the United States District Court, for their parts freeing two Federal prisoners from the Denton Jail to transact private bustness. It was the second hearing given Sheriff Tarbutton in the case. On September 23 he appeared in court to show cause why he should not be held in contempt for allowing Elmer B. Bramble and Zez Goodyear to leave Jail without a court order.
In the order setting yesterday for another hearing, Judge Coleman Ordered Thawley, in whose custody Goodyear was released, to appear and explain his part in the matter.

In the Goodyear case, it was explained that Thawley asked that Goodyear be released in his custody to raise the money to pay a fine imposed on him at the same time that his six-month jail sentence was 1m- posed. After hearing all the testimony Judge Coleman said that in view of the previous practice of permitting prisoners to leave, "a situation which the court cannot tolerate, but which the sheriff seems to have he would absolve him of willful intent to disobey a court order and let him off with a reprimand. Judge Coleman also expressed that AS an officer of the opinion court, Thawley should have done all in his power to correct the situation rather than to have taken advantage of it, and that he, too, was to be reprimanded.
