MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A hearing where a Minnesota man was expected to plead guilty to hiding a stolen pair of ruby slippers that Judy Garland wore in “The Wizard of Oz” was postponed indefinitely Wednesday after his attorney told the court that the man is hospitalized. U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz granted the continuance at the request of the attorney for Jerry Hal Saliterman, 77, of Crystal, who was planning to change his plea to guilty at a hearing that was scheduled for this coming Friday.

The shoes are one of four surviving pairs made for the 1939 classic film, and became the most valuable movie memorabilia ever sold at auction, according to auction house Heritage Auctions. The buyer will reportedly pay an additional $4.5m (£3.4m) to the Dallas-based auction house, bringing the final price to $32.5m (£25.4m), according to the Associated Press.
