Judge Dismisses Jury Early In Murder Trial
In Bloomsburg Pennsylvania a judge ordered the jury out of the courtroom as witnesses testified at a hearing on alleged confessions by Frank Earl Lenk in the murder case of 13 year old Jane Mary Benfield. The hearing examined whether the confessions were voluntary amid claims of possible coercion and violence. Detective Sgt. Rufus G. Williams described the questioning and notes, including a minister visit and a later confession draft, while other officials testified about procedures and timing prior to Lenk’s trial.
