Convict Burns Flings Confession In Hamel Murder Trial
James F. Burns, alias Regan, testified in New York court that he and a partner murdered Mrs. Helen Hamel during a burglary. He described entering the Hamel home, tying a towel around the victim, stealing cash and jewelry, and later splitting proceeds. Burns mocked the prosecutor, boasted of past crimes, and claimed motives for lying or confessing were unclear amid pressure from Judge Rosalsky and Assistant District Attorney Talley.
