Key, former fireman at the state hospital cured him of his "Insanity," according to a letter received today from Somerset, written to the chief of police of Moline by E.

W. Thurman, deputy sheriff. After Key was arrested here on a warrant from Paducah county, four months ago, charging him with wife and child abandonment and embezzlement of $840 from a railroad brotherhood of which he was secretary, he apparently became insane over one night in his cell. All known tests for insane applied to him, and the doctors were united in opinion that Key's mind was unbalanced. After Key had remained several days in the Moline police station, a deputy sheriff from Kentucky came after him and took him back to Somerset.

According to the letter received today, Key continued to appear insane for 24 days, when he suddenly came to his senses and begged leniency. The man was placed through third degree methods, but nothing seemed to affect him until a second ice bath was administered. The trial immediately started, as Key was under indictment on two charges. It is said that he engaged one of the best attorneys in that section of the country and was dismissed on both charges. On the charge of abandonment, his wife who resides in Somerset, failed to appear against him.

On the charge of embezzlement the court ruled that no prosecution could be brought in the state of Kentucky as the alleged offense occurred in Tennessee. Key is alleged to have a second wife living in East Moline, although the charge of bigamy was not pressed against him. The letter to Chief Bisant states that Key has left Somerset for parts unknown, being alleged to have made the remark as he boarded the train that he was going so far away "that even the birds would not And him."
