LOS ANGELES, July 7.—Small, swarthy Albert Dyer, accused of mur- dering and ravishing three little schoolgirls, was well launched today on the legal path the State declares will end at the gallows. The county grand jury, meeting in special session last night, returned indictments charging the 32-year-old W. P. A. school-crossing guard with first-degree murder. Dyer is accused of having lured Madeline Everett, 7; her sister, Melba, 9, and Jeanette Marjorie Stephens, 8, into the Baldwin Hills, a few miles from their Inglewood homes, June 26, strangling them and violating their bodies. ‘The haggard, tousle-haired prisoner shouted as the indictments were being read in court: “I plead guilty!” | He was told the action was futile | at the time.
