PROBRES
MADE IN TRIAL
Defense Seeks to Discredit Lead?
ing Witness for State in
Key Case.
[Special to The Times-Dispatch.1
Manassas, v'a.. July 10.?After nav~
ing been postponed from time to time,
the case of the Commonweajth against
H. C. Key, who is charged with an
attack on seven-year-old Katie Clark
in August. I'jOO. was begun In the Cir?
cuit Court of Prlnco William county
to-day. Judge J. B. T. Thornton is
presiding. Good progress wa3 made
with the case, and It Is probable that
It will be given to the Jury to-mor?
row afternoon.
The accused, a man of seventy-live
years of age, and an uncle by mar?
riage of the child he Is alleged to have
attacked, denied the allegations ot
? le indictment against him on the
witness stand this afternoon.
The attorneys for the Common-,
wealth are relying strongly on the
testimony of J. Willard Green, for^
merly of this county, but now an ofll
c,-r on the detective force In Wash?
ington city, and a half-brother of
the Clark child, to secure conviction
in the case.
Qreen apprehended Key In Wash?
ington city, and he testified to-day
that the accused had confessed. About
two years ago Green's wife, who was
a Miss Kinchetoe, of this county, se?
cured a divorce from him in this Juris?
diction. The defense to-day under?
took to show by the detectives di?
vorced wife that while they wer?
i residing together in the capital city,
Green made a practice of bringing
witnesses to his house In order to
j coach them. Often, said Mrs. Green,
' the supposed witnesses neither knew
th.- accused and did not know tho
offense with which he was charged.
This answer was made In the pres?
ence of the court, the Jury having;
been allowed to retire. Judge Thorn?
ton ruled that the Jury would not ba
permitted to hear the question and
answer.
Mrs. Green caused some surprise
when she said that although she had
brought the suit for a divorce from
her husband, yet Green had attended
to having the witnesses gotten, had
their depositions taken and had paid
the fee of the attorney who secured
the divorce for her.
