Va, November 21.—Testifying in behalf of his motion for & change of venue, Harry F. Powers sald today he was “tortured into sign- ing a confession to the murders of Mrs. Asta Buick Eicher, Park Ridge, T, widow, and her three children following his arrest for the crimes here last Au- gust. Powers 1s to go on trial in Harrison County (Clarksburg), December 7, for the slaying of Mrs. Dorothy Pressler Lemke, Northboro, Mass., divorcee, but he contends he cannot get a fair trial here because of sentiment against him. He is also under indictment for the killing of Mrs. Eicher and her children. The five bodies were found burled in a shallow sewer ditch near Powers’ ga~ rage at Quiet Dell, Clarksburg suburb. Testifies He Was Beaten. The accused “Bluebeard” said he was taken to the jall and “beaten with blackjacks, guns, & cane, and there was & hammer there, too.” “They also had rubber hose as weapons.” ‘The “brutal treatment,” he said, con- tinued for 11 hours. Powers charged city and county officers, State police, authorities from Park Ridge and others he did not know were present. “I was taken off my bunk and ear- ried to the third floor (of the jail) and told to sit down by a table,” he said. “Lieut. Hartzog, from Park Ridge, whom I knew, sald: “‘Now, Harry, sign that’ I protested that thit was not sccording to the understanding that I would do what my lawyer advised.” Then, Powers asserted, Hertsog *‘You don’t need to see a laywer confessing. Now sign that * ¢ 1f you don't T'll knock you senseless.’ * Shown Crowd Outside. Every now and then, the witness said, “they would raise the blinds of the jail window, point to the crowd outside and say: ‘Now if you don't sign this, we will throw you out there and you know what they will do to you.'” Finally, dazed from mistreatment, Powers said he signed a paper. He was not cross-examined fy the State. A number of other witnesses Wgstified that they did not belleve Powere $ould get a fair trial here, The State submitted depositions made by 32 Harrison County citizens stating that, in their belief, Powers could get a fair trial. J. Ed Law, defense counsel, moved that the court set a date for cross-ex- amination of the 32 persons and Judge John C. Southern took this under ad- visement.
