Blight Lee. former gambler, last
March IS at her Arlington home.
He was the States principal
witness in the trial of Lewis, who
was sentenced to nine years in
the penitentiary for armed rob-
berry. Lewis has asked for a new
trial and has moved that a jury's
verdict be set aside.
Kiley was brought from the
Arlington County Jail for
sentencing. Earlier this week he
was jailed at his own request,
after having been free under bond.
Lewis plea for a new trial is
based largely on an affidavit taken
from Kiley last Saturday in which
it is stated an alleged confession
was forced from him by threats
and promises of leniency from law
enforcement officials.
Kiley's attorney, Hugh c. Creig-
or. yesterday asked the court to
suspend sentence and Judge Will
liam D. Medley took the request
under Amusement. Kiley said in
his affidavit last week that he
needs psychiatric treatment.
