NEARING END OF JOE DENTON TRIAL
DEFENDANT TAKES STAND AND TELLS OF HIS DolNcs NIGHT
 OF TRAGEDY.
Alibi Again the Defense, Coupled With the Doubt Shown Through Other
 Green Emnities.

The trial of Joe Denton, charged with the ,illing of B. c. Green in South Hot Springs last August. is | fast nearing an end, and it is proba be that by the time Denton goes to sleep tonight the final answer will be made as to whether that shall be in the jail he has occupied since the trag- edy or whether he will be liberated. The defendant was witness on the stand yesterday and his story differ ed little from that formerly told in the case. It was to the effect that the night B. C. Green was assassinated he was about the home of his fatherin- law, Will Ellison, earlier in the even ing and from one to another he trac- ed his movement on until la in the night, half an hour after the tragedy, when he surrendered to the officers after hearing they wanted him as suspect in the case.
 Dentons trip through the creek  district was explained by himself in a humiIiating but positive manner. for on the occasion when he must ex- plain every movements was an occa- sion given to extreme dissipation, ac- cording to his own version of the af1 fair.
 Other witnesses appeared, many in number, however. who ad seen Den ton and Ellison the night of the trag- edy, and who did not believe it possi- ble from the places and the times they had seen him, for him to have been about the spot where B. c. Green was slain. There were a great number of these witnesses, and some were posi- tive that about S:25. when the .atal shots were fired, Denton and Ellison were about the Lookadoo saloon in South Hot Springs.
 Colonel George w. Murphy is con ducting the defense. aud Prosecutor Wood caring for the interests of the state. They may reach the point where arguments are to be taken up at an early court hour this morning, and there will probably be large au- dience present to hear them. Certain fly no more formidable opponents in a legal struggle could be selected than these two. and n each of the former instances wherein they have appeared there has been large gathering to hear their final arguments.

Missionary Conference To
Be Held In Mansfield
mansfield Shield)


The year 1911 marks the fiftieth an
niversary of the founding of the Wo.
mans Foreign Missionary society.
The committee in charge of the gen.
eral work for this year deemed 1t fit
ting that this occasion be celebrated
in some worthy manner. as a result
nterdenominational foreign mission
jubilees have been held in all the
large cities from the Atlantic to the
Pacific with the threefold purpose of
aTousing a greater interest among the
woman Of the land on the subject of
foreign missions; of stimulating to a
deeper spiritual earnestness and a
more intelligent study of the. subject
both at home and abroad and to honor
the Lord with a jubilee offering of
81, 100000.
One of the most enthusiastic of
these conferences was held at Cleve-
land the latter part of January. 1t
Is now proposed to hold twenty sub
jubilee conferences throughout the
state of Ohio during the month of Feb
ruary and March. Mansfield has been
selected as one of the centers for the
jubilee conferences, and the date Mar.
9 has been fixed upon. 1t is earnestly
desired that churches from all the ad-
jacent towns and villages send as
many representatives as possible to
this meeting. There will be an after
uoon and evening session, with a
speaker from abroad to address the
entiie assemblage. In addition, there
are to be denominational rallies
where the work of the different
churchs may he discussed. Much en-
thusiasm is being evinced, and it is
hoped that a large number of ladies
from neighboring churches will be
present. Remember the date, March
8, and the place, First Congregational
church, Mansfield, Ohio.

CARRIED
His Secret To Grave Did A
Wooster Man
Who Died At Wayne County
Inflrmary
Believed To Have Slain His
Wife

Edmond Daniels, for twenty-three
years an inmate of the Wayne county
infirmary, died Friday. He carried
the secret OF murder with him to the
grave. Years ago the old man was
arrested and charged with the MUIR
der of his wife in Wayne county. He
was a big, powerful man and she was
frail little woman.
Says the Wooster Republican,:
Daniels was tried on the charge Of
murder. He had the best legal talent
in the county and the case was hard
fought one. The jury acquitted him
of the charge and he was set free.
Finally in his old age, property
gone, relatives gone, and without
means of support, Daniels was one
day led away to the poor house, where
he passed the declining years of his
life.
Superintendent Sigh when telling
of the Id man death, said that dur
ing the two years that Daniels was in
declining health he tried to engage
him in conversation as to his wife,
but the old man was always sullen
and stolid, never wanted to talk Of
his past life. Mr.. Sigh said that he
had always thought that Daniels
might make a confession when he saw
that his end was near. If guilty he
died with the secret in his breast. At
the time of his trial, there were many
who thought him guiltless, and that
Daniels was the victim of circum
stances, while others thought him
guilty. He was man of ugly temper
and had but few friends.
One of the reasons given for the
crime charged against the old man
was that his wife knew of a murder
that Daniels had committed before
coming to Wayne county, and that his
fear chat she would tell the secret
was one of the motives for the crime.
Others took no stock in this story, IA
leging that is was story emanating
from the diseased mind of Mrs. Dan
lels, who was demented.
1t was charged that Daniels had
beaten his wife to death with long.
/ handled shovel. The first known OF
her death was when the old man came
to the city for the purpose of buying
casket in which her remains should
be inferred. Daniels and his wife
lived in small house down Prairie
lane. The officers and newspaper men
who visited the home and saw the
body of the poor woman before being
dressed for her coffin, remember the
sight as terrible one, the body ot
the frail woman being a mass ol
great welts and scars and bruises.

BLOOD TROUBLES
CONSTITUTIONAL INFECTION

Constitutional Blood Poison is the
most insidious of all diseases. 1t
begins in an insignificant manner,
usually the appearance of tiny sore
being the only outward evidence of its
presence. But down in the blood the
treacherous infection is at work, and
in short time its chain of symptoms
begin to crop out. The mouth and
throat ulcerate, skin erupticns break
out, sores and ulcers appear ON the
body, the glands in the groin swell,
and sometimes the hair comes out.
Mineral medicines cannot cure Con-
stitutional Blood Poison; they only
shut the disease up in the system to
shoulder and await an opportunity of
breaking out afresh. The only pos
sible way to cure the disease is to
REMOVE the germs from the blood.
S. S. S, goes into the blood, and while
removing the infection makes the

He states they were married April

defendant deserted him on three diff
ferent occasions and at the present
time is away from the city. He
charges the defendant with adultery,
gross neglect and cruelty and asks
for a divorce. The plaintiff claims to
own house and lot in the city of Mt.

straining the defendant from in any
way securing an interest in the said

SEARCHLIGHT
Will Be Thrown On The
State Offices
When The CetOne Bill Be-
comes A Law
Taking State Accounting
Bureau Out OF Politics
Heretofore II Has Been A
Heretofore II Has Been A
Partisan Affair
And Failed To Check Abuses
In State Departments.

Columbus, o., Feb. 2S-A bill to re-
organize the state bureau of account
ing which is pending in the upper
branch of the general assembly, was
introduced by Senator Cetone of Day
ton, solely in the interest of good
government. If the bureau had been
efficiently conducted during Republi-
can administrations and had inspec-
tions Of state tepartmente been made
the people would not have lost thous-
ands VI dollars through the grating
Of Mark Slater, former Republican
state printer, and other Republican
state officers. If accountants had In
vestigated state departments fraudu-
lent transactions would have been dis
covered and stopped.
The auditor of states department
together with other branches OF the
state government have never been in
vestigated, and If the Cetone bill is
passed the searchlight will be thrown
on transactions In them. Under the
measure the governor Is given author
ity to appoint one chief examiner for
B years at $4,000 annual salary and a
first assistant at 5 $500. To take the
bureau out of politics the other ap-
pointees are to be distributed equally
between the two political parties. The
bureau has been Republican parti'
san affair under the management OF
Republican state auditors, and that is
responsible largely for It's failure to
check abuses IN state departments.
All doubtful bills are to be referred
by all county and state officers to the
bureau for its o. X. before being paid
Uniform rules are to be laid down to
guide county and city officers. This
will stop confusion and embarrass
ment to these officials by different
rulings by different examiners.
Republicans defeated similar bill
last year. and they will fight this one
They are stubbornly resisting all eff
forts to put the management Of the
states affairs on q business basis.
