FACTS
On February 27, 1978, petitioner Frank Brewer (Brewer) was arraigned in Arizona on charges of armed robbery and wearing a mask in the commission of a public offense. At that time, he was informed of his original trial date, his right to be present at this trial, and that he could be tried in absentia should he voluntarily fail to appear. Brewer was subsequently released on bond.
After his release, Brewer disappeared. He did not attempt to contact his attorney or to inform the court of his whereabouts. He was not heard from again until November of 1978.
