PASTOR FACES TRIAL
Rev. John Spencer Fights
Wife Murder Charge
DROWNING Is CLAIMED
Case Called At Lakeport, CAL,
Detailed Statement
\ Refused
UNITED Press Dispatchl

Lakeport, Cal, October 3.-The
Rev. John Spencer, former Oklahoma
physician, now an ordained Presby-
terrain minister, until recently in
charge of a church at Fulton, Cal,
started his fight today to provo that
he did not drown his wife In Clear
Lake, on which Lakeport is located.
Mrs. E. B. Barter, who was joint
ly accused with Rev. Spencer, was
set free at her preliminary hearing,
because of lack of evidence. The
state alleges that Spencer killed his
wife that he might be with Mis-.
Barber, and also to gain control OF
certain valuable property.
Rev. Spencer thus far has refused
to make a detailed statement. He
fatty denied the charges when he
was arrested In San Jose. CAL, and
since that time has stood steadfastly
by that denial.
Said He Had Been Boating
His explanation was that he had
been boating in the moonlight with
Mrs. Spencer. Returning to the
Lakeport pier. he stepped from the
his hack, heard a splash and cry
for help and saw the canoe floating
empty on the waters of the Lake.
A short time later the>body Of
Mrs. Spencer was recovered 1t was
said to have been foating-some
thing the body of a person whose
death is natural does not do within
several days, according to the prose
cution.
1t was a week before charges were
placed against Rev. men e.. L
an autopsy was performed, the re-
suits OF which have been kept secret,
and issuance Of a warrant followed.
Spencer~was arrested at San Jose.
When he was arrested, officers said,
he sent to the home OF Mrs. Barber,
who then had moved to San Jose to
secure his clothing.
