Even Japan, from whom serious

that Japan strongly desired to have

Sterling. Nov. 1O.-Blair Denton
Of Erie, aged ~, who is being tried
for the murder Of his father in
law, Ray Sibley of Prophetstown,
Oct. 5, yesterday took the stand in
his own behalf.
Denton testified that alleged i'm
proper actions Of his wife led to
the quarrel He claimed that he
was attacked by the deceased and
by HIS wife. Helen Denton. He en-
acted the shooting. OF the two
shots fired, Denton claimed, the
first was an accident and the Sec
ond was in self-defense. After the
shooting his mind was a blank, and
he went into his bedroom, shut the
door and refused to come out until
officials arrived
The testimony given by Denton
centered mainly around the cause
of the quarrel Denton accused his
wife OF stepping out with other
men, Of going to Rock Island with
them and also having men visitors
at her home He accused the faith
er Of knowing this. The father re-
scented the accusation and the quar-
rel went from a family row to a,
tragic killing.
The conversation and shooting
took place in Henry Sibley's home
in Erie, where Denton, his wife
and sons, aged and 3, lived. The
wife and children were the only
witnesses to the shooting. The
wife cannot testify. Denton denied
statements made by other Witness
es that he threatened to kill Raw
Sibley. 1t is expected that he will
be recalled. Court will probably
be held tonight.
The state will ask the death pen
atty for the young man. An I'M
usual circumstance in connection
with the trial is that all of the at
torneys and the judge, Harry Ed
wards Of Dixon, are former states |
attorneys.
