SCHWEITzER TO
FACE COURT ON
MURDER CHARGE
HoodIum, Two Girls to Be
Arraigned Today in
Lawyers Death.

BIZ United Press
DETROIT, Mich July Will
liam Schweitzer. murderer of How
ard Carter Dickinson, New York
attorney and nephew of Chief JUS
tice Charles Evans Hughes, will be
arraigned in recorders court today
on a charge Of first degree murder.
With him Will be arraigned Flor
ence and Loretta Jackson, sisters
who lured Mr.. Dickinson to a party
that ended in his murder for a
purse containing S120. They. too.
Will be charged with first degree
murder. Jean Miller, the third
woman on the fatal party, has
turned states evidence. When she
is arraigned she will face a lesser
charge, it was believed.
The states case against Schweit-
ger and the Jackson sisters was
fortified by their own confessions
that Mr.. Dickinson was murdered
for his purse. They believed it con-
tanned several thousand dollars.
The jackson sisters said they
thought Schweitzer would use the
loot to start a tent show and would
give them jobs as dancers. They
were bitter against SChweitzer, as
sorting he led them into a situation
they had not understood in the be-
ginning.
Ernest Goodman, retained as at
torney for Schweitzer, advised his
client to stand mute" when he is
arraigned. Under Michigan law
that requires the judge to enter a
not guilty plea for the defendant
and assign him to another judge
for examination.
Early trials for the three were ex-
pected. Under Michigan law life
Imprisonment is the most severe
penalty for first degree murder. Miss
Miller probably will be tried later,
it was said. with a charge of rob-
berry. She insisted she went on the
fatal party with no notion that
Schweitzer and the Jackson sisters
had plotted Mr. Dickinsons death.
