Trial of John Bennett Focuses on Alibi and Motive
John Bennett, the negro on trial for wife murder in the court of common pleas, took the stand to detail his movements from Kentucky to Cleveland. He admitted questioning remarks about killing his wife but denied actually doing so, describing his wanderings, a tar burn in Dayton, and his search for the wife’s clothes in Cleveland. He claimed his notebook was altered after his arrest and noted a drug store purchase of carbolic acid. A classified ad for a modern Cleveland home appears at the end.
