A 55-year-old city man has pleaded innocent to the murder of his 44-year-old wife in his arraignment in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.

Daniel Wellington entered his plea Tuesday before Magistrate Daniel Dascenzo in the Aug. 5 death of his wife, Doris, in their East Side residence.

The magistrate deferred the matter of bond to Judge Maureen A. Sweeney, who will preside over Wellington’s jury trial, which is tentatively set for Sept. 19.
