Loud Claims He Did Not Kill Preston in Wakefield Trial
In a lengthy Wakefield court session, Clarence W Loud testified he did not kill Policeman James A Preston and had never seen him. He disputed diary entries linking his name to Alice Dennett and described his movements on April 9, including a trip to Lynnfield for antiques and an assault along Salem Street.
