SLAYER PLEADS
DOUBLE NATURE
RULED ACTIONS
Intimates That Father Knew
of Him Starting Fire which
Caused Sisters Death
PLAN TO GIVE HIM TRIAL

Clearwater, Fla, Feb. 23--The in.
timation of Frank Mcdowell, 10 years
old, confessed slayer of his father
mother and two sisters, that his
father knew he was responsible fol-
the fire that caused the death of his
two sisters year ago, the opinion
of H. A. Mason Smith, Tampa alien
ist, that Mcdowell is insane and Nc
Dowell's declaration that he possess
es "a dual personality were over
night developments in the case of
the youth who shot to death his
mother and father, Mr.. and Mrs. J.
M. Mcdowell at st. Petersburg last
Tuesday night.
In new confession made by Nc
Dowell last night he said he did not
know what caused him to murder the
members of his family but that he
had had "a brainstorm' during sew
eral days preceding the shooting of
his mother and father while they
slept.
He said he believed he had been
an agnostic for five years. But
these dual personalities in me were
queer tricks. When l have~control of
myself ! am above religion, an
atheist, But when my subconscious
nature is in control Of me l believe
in Christ and living God. My SUBJ
conscious self seems to command
something that my conscious mind
is pOwerlcss to ignore and my body
obey. Just before my crimes am
a Christian; then become Mortified
at the enormity of my sins and re-
turn to my atheism"
Deputy sheriff Horton Belcher told
reporters today that it had been de-
cided not to have the prisoner ex-V
amined by an ordinary insanity
but to submit him to
the usual procedure of trial for al
capital crime. The boy killer, he
said, would be given a preliminary
hearing, will be held for trial and
tried in circuit court here, at the
next term in May.
If Mcdowell was adjudged insane,
said Belcher, he would be sent to
an insane asylum but if tried for
murder the jury probably would re-
turn verdict that he is criminally
insane or that he committed mur-
der. In the event of a former YER
dict he would be locked up under
close guard and if found guilty of
the murder charge would be cleo
trocuted, Belcher said.
