THURSDAY, APRIL 18,1957 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE ADMITS BEATING . . . Continued from page 1) Coroner Summer, Tom Henderson and myself secured a warrant for James Dillard. . . We went to Newberry County Jail to serve this warrant on him. I advised him of his constitutional rights. ... I asked him did he beat this girl. He said he did not. “On Monday, he changed his story. He sent for me Monday. Mr. Henderson and myself went back to the county jail. He said he wanted to tell us the truth. He said it looked like it was going to rain and wipe out the tracks where he parked and he wanted to show us where he parked. “He told us to go to the old Jalapa colored school. He said ‘Here is where I parked my car.’ The tracks were identical with the car he was drMng that night. “He said he had been after her about drinking and had whipped her one' time before and had to pay some money at the City police for it. He said he told.he ‘if I am going to continue to go with you, I will whip you again.’ She said, ‘well, I am going to take off my dress so mother won’t know about it.’ He showed me how she turned over, got on her face and elbows. He stood on his knees and took the fan belt that came out of the car and beat her and I asked about the bruises being in difefrent places. He said ‘well, when I was beating her, you know she turned all kinds of ways.’ That is how he explained that. “He said he left there and went through by Mr. Tom Neel’s and stopped and he went to sleep and when he woke up, he could not wake her up and he drove home and carried her in the house and said T had them call the police and the doctor.” The verdict of the jury, of which H. D. Whitaker was fore man, was that “Lucile Swit.ten- berg came to her death by being beaten with blunt instrumen 4 - by James Dillard.” Impressive First Service At Mayer Palm 1 Sunday was a glorious day never to be forgotten by the pres ent membership of Mayer Me morial Lutheran Church.
