PEETE DEFENSE READY
TO PRESENT CASE
Defendant Will Rely on Story Of
Mythical Spanish Woman to
Prove Innocence.

LOS ANGELES. Feb. s. With
the defense ready to open its case

not be permitted to give her own
version of the sensational murder
case. Fighting for her life, she ex-
pressed citation over the prospect OF
being able to tell her side to the
jury.
my big day is coming" she said,
land l am glad. l didn't kill Dem
ton and l don't know who did
Mrs. Peete's defense probably will
be based on the Spanish woman
story she related after her arrest.
She has declared Benton shot this
woman, with whom he was on init
mate terms, and the defendant vol
unteered the theory that the wom-
ans friends killed Denton. The
Spanish woman" has never been
found.
In reply to the states charges
that Mrs. Peete. after killing Dem
ton, dragged his body into the base
ment OF his home and buried it, the
defense has about ten witnesses, 1t
is stated, who will testify that IN
their opinion she was not physically
able to drag body weighing 2Oo
pounds.
The defense also is expected to
bring up the question of identity
of the murder victim. To raise
reasonable doubt" in the minds OF
the jury, 1t is reported, Mrs. Peete's
counsel will introduce at least three
Witnesses who are expected to TESTIFY
that they saw Denton on dates which
they believe were after that on
which he was slain.
