White Man Sentenced In Attack Case
Ernest Dillon a 30 year old McComb Mississippi man received a 20 year prison term after pleading to assault with intent to rape a 16 year old African American girl in a case that highlighted racial tensions. The judge noted Dillon’s actions brought disrespect to his family and bitter condemnation on Mississippi and local communities. Dillon was among four white men accused of abusing the girl on May 13, 1956. His brother Ollie, 45, was brought to a state mental hospital for observation after a plea of insanity. The judge said the family agreed reducing the charge from rape to assault with intent was appropriate to avoid the death penalty if it had stood as rape.
