Judge may decide Claire murder case
Elmer C. Claire, indicted for the murder of James Dennison, faced a stalled prosecution as testimony closed and a motion to dismiss was argued before Judge Akers. Dennison died September 23 from knife and head wounds after an incident near his Maple street home following a night at Union Station. Claire claimed Dennison attacked himself and that he intervened to seize the knife, a defense the jury did not hear fully.
