Henry u. Johnson Made Motion
For a New Trial, But Mo-
ton Was OverruIed.
ARGUMENT is THEN HEARD.
PROSECUTION INSISTS ON SER
IOUS OFFENSE, WHILE DE-
FENSE CLAIMS ONLY ASSAULT
AND BATTERY.

The evidence in the case of the
State against Verna Green, the seven
teen-year-old colored boy indicted for
assault and battery with intent to
commit rape on Hazel NJ. Harris, the
three-yearOld daughter of MI and
Mrs. Charles Harris, was concluded
Monday afternoon about 4 o'clock.
This morning the arguments in the
case began.
In the opening argument Attorney
j. F. Robbins. acting as deputy prose
cutor, charged that Green had prior to
the assault made on the Harris child
been guilty OF indecent conduct with
at least one other young girl. Attor-
ney H. L. Johnson, who is defending
Green, objected to this statement and
made a motion TO have the jury dis
charged, the defendant still considered
in jeopardy and a new trial ordered
Mr. Johnson stated that Mr.. Robbins
had no right to make the statement
ne did and that it would have the eff
feet of prejudicing the jury against
the defendant. MI Robbins stated to
the court that he was repeating to the
court the evidence Sergeant McManus
had given out on the witness stand
and that he was not exceeding his
right to repeat this testimony in his
argument. Judge Fox overruled Mr.
Johnson's objection. Mr.. Robbins
laughed in a sarcastic manner ana af
ter informing the jury Mr.. Johnson
was not the only member of the
Wayne county bar who knew law. con
tinued with his argument, which was
: scorching arraignment of the defen.
liant.
Effort Was Farce.
In this argument Mr.. Robbins stated
that the efforts of MI Johnson to
prove by witnesses that Green bore
a good character prior to the assault
made upon the Harris baby was moth.
ing more or less than farce Mr.
Robbins stated that Mr.. Johnson had
stated that the defendant was guilty
of a "grievous' assault and battery
and had then come into court to show
the defendant bore a good reputation
If | should shoot a man to death in
the halls of this court house and then
come into court and attempt to show
that | had borne a good reputation
prior to this murder. of what avail
would it ID" to me?" Mr.. Robbins ask.
ed the Jury He then stated that he
had good reasons to believe that
Green had been guilty Of similar Of.
fenses on young girls prior to his as,
sault on the Harris child. Mr.. Rob,
bins stated that on the witness stand
Sergeant McManus testified that on
the day he had arrested Green he told
him that he had assaulted other young
girls and that Green had answered
him in an interrogative tone who told
your; and that the sergeant testi
