DEFENDANT BREAK
LONG SILENCE AND
TESTIFY MISSOURI
SENSATIONAL CASE

A Kansas City, Mo, May Sl.-The de.
fense developed the alibi today in the
trial of Denzel Chester, accused of the
murder of Miss Florence Bartonnear,
here on the night of October 2, last,
with testimony that Chester was seen
! on a street corner downtown, miles
from the scene of the shooting about
the time the state alleges Miss Bar
ton was fatally wounded.
William Neville, who testified he
was an automobile mechanic at the
municipal garage and a friend of the
defendant, and said he saw Chester
on Grand Avenue at Twelfth street,
about two minutes before midnight on
October Q. Testimony previously
brought out by the prosecution
| showed Miss Barton was wounded
shortly before midnight on a country
road southeast of here.
Neville testified he talked with
Chester that night and asked him to
come out to his home next day on a
motorcycle and ride o'rt to see a party
in whom Neville was interested. He
said he had known Chester for six
years and that Chester had visited
his home twice before in that week,
but he could not remember the exact
dates.
Neville said he did not know where
Chester was living at the time.
Densel Chester, charged with the
murder Of Miss Florence Barton, 10
cal society girl who was shot to death
by a supposed highwayman the night
Of October 2, last, while motoring lear
the city with Howard Winter, her fl
ance, came into court today prepared
to testify in his own behalf at his
trial, which has been in progress this
week.
Chester has not spoken since last
fall, when, it is said, he made two un-
successful attempts to commit suicide
in the Broken Bow, Neb, jail, follow
ing recapture after a sensational es-
cape from a train near Broken Bow,
while being brought to Kansas City
to face the charge. Arrangements
were made for the defendant to write
his record by a court stenographer
and afterward read aloud to the jury.
Attorneys on both sides were hope
full that the case would be given 70

ARMAMENT ENJOYS
EXCHANGING VIEWS

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1O.-(By
The Associated Press).-Proposals
to be made by the American delega-
ton at the conference of the limita-
ton of armament. apparently con-
stitutes the only suggestion prepar-
ed in advance as to ways and means
of curtailing naval expenditures
without sacrifice by any power of ma
tional security.
Great Britain is not known to have
worked out any formula. Japan is
awaiting the American suggestion.
France and Italy are more concern
ed with land forces than navy.
Two days before the conference
opened the American proposals re-
manned a closely guarded secret. 1t
is doubtful if any except President
Harding, the four American dele
gates and highest officials of the
navy department know exactly what
the proposals are. This much is
known: No definite formula for
agreement on limitation of naval
forces has been reached by Secre-
tary Hughes and his colleague of the
American delegaticl. The formula
is an entirely practical one.f 1t does
not attempt 10 make any general
4 4 -
equity of naval forces between the
powers; it does nos pretend to fix
a common denominator by which all
navies could be divided and its
power assigned by agreement, the
number of units il could maintain
with world approval.
The suggestions Will deal with
things as they are: a plain PROPOSE
ton of ships built, building or au-
thorized: of naval bases; of the vital
elements of naval requirements. of
the potential naval significance; of
naval marines and other countries
existing or planned weapons or aux
iliaries Of naval warfare.

ference will result in an era of uni
