MIAMI, Fla., Aug. 2. (U.P.) Capt. William Lancaster, British aviator, was brought to trial here today on a charge of murdering Haden Clarke, youthful newspaperman, in a bungalow by the side of the sea April 21.
As the trial began Judge J. H. Atkinson denied a defense motion for continuance until the next court term on the grounds of absence of a material witness, Dr. Percy L. Dodge.
Lancaster and his attorneys declared the defendant could not safely go on trial without the assistance of Dr. Dodge's testimony.
Clarke was found dying of a bullet wound in his head on the sleeping porch he occupied with Lancaster in the bungalow home of Mrs. Jessie M. Keith-Miller, Australian woman flyer.
