Penny Held In
Triple Murders
The largest crowd to turn out
for an inquest in Newberry County
ior a number of years packed the
court room of the county court
house Friday night to hear wit
nesses tell of the circumstances
surrounding the deaths of Rosa
Lee DeWalt. colored woman, and
her two daughters who were bru
tally murdered late Saturday
night, March 21st, at their home
between Newberry and Prosper
ity. The inquest was conducted
by Coroner George R. Summer,
assisted by Solicitor William T.
Jones of Greenwood.
Frank Penny, a paroled con
vict, confessed to the brutal
crime at the county jail Monday
n J ght, March 23rd. His only rea
son for the slayings was reported
to be that “they all jumped on
me at the same time.”
Richard Hill, Colored, of Saluda
took the witness stand and told
of seeing Penny in a cafe in
Prosperity. Penny asked Hill to
drive him “up the road” 1 and
bought two gallons of gas for
Hill’s car. Hill testified that he
took Penny to the “planing mill”
and Penny got out. Hill returned
to Prosperity, and said he didn’t
know where Penny went.
The planing mill referred to was
later identified as being about half
way between Newberry and Pros
perity, and about half a mile from
the DeWalt home. Hill stated he
did not know Penny very well,
but could positively identify him
as being “the one they call ‘Son-
in-Law' Penny.”
Sheriff Tom Fellers stated that
he received a call about the mur
ders at iLOO a. m. Sunday morning
and that he with Deputies J. C.
Neel, Tom Henderson, Slim Hen
derson and Hugh Shannon went
to the scene of the crime. He
stated “we received some infor
mation of Frank Penny so we
went on to look for him. We loca
ted him in his little shack there
in Prosperity. We arrested him
and brought him to the Newberry
County Jail.”
Sheriff Fellers said that Penny
did not make a statement theji,
but on Monday night he “con
fessed to me he went to this house
and that he killed them with this
club and that they were all dead
whenever he left.” Penny made
the same statement to Deputy
Neel in the presence of Sheriff
Fellers. The prisoner was made
no promise of reward, nor was he
threatened in any way, the Sheriff
stated.
Sheriff Fellers’ testimony con
cluded the evidence except for
the statements of the doctor,
which, because of their length,
were given by Coroner Summer
to the members of the jury to
read when they retired. The three
statements showed that all three
died of a crushing wound to the
skull, and that Fannie and Carrie
DeWalt, the eight and ten year
old daughters, had been raped.
The jury’s verdict was that
Rosa Lee DeWalt. Fannie DeWalt
and Carrie DeWalt came to their
death by the hand of Frank Penny.
Penny is being held in the New
berry County Jail pending trial
at the June term of court.

partment announces that 1201
