CHARGED WITH WIFE MURDER
John Manning Pleaded Not Guilty at
Lawrence, Mass.

Lawrence, Mass, Aug. 25.-Iohn Man
ming, 81, pleaded not guilty in district
court yesterday to the charge of murder
ing his wife, Lizzie Ann. aged about 80
whom he claimed to have found dead in
bed with her iugulsr vein severed at
their home, 9 Melvin street, Wednesday
At the request of the government the
case was continued 10 days and Manning
was committed to jail without bail.
The police are endeavoring to trace
the whereabouts of Manning between
5:45 and o'clock Wednesday evening.
At the former hour the couples l4year-
old son, William, claims that he talked
with his mother. who was lying on a
bed and that she responded. According
to Manning she was still on the bed
when he returned home at l. He laid
down beside her, was attracted by the
moisture OF blood and discovered that
she was dead.
He notified Mrs, Jennie Gaskill, an
other tenant in the dwelling, and in turn
the police were called.
The only weapon that the police have
been able to find is case knife. which is
believed to have traces of blood upon it.
This was in one of the other rooms.
Failure to discover any weapon in the
room in which the woman died is regard
ed by the police as strengthening their
theory that she was murdered.
