Man Held Without Bond In Dayton Slaying
Thomas J. Conlin 59 of Berkeley California is bound over to a grand jury without bond in the fatal shooting of Harold E. McCreery 54 president of the Master Vibrator Co of Dayton. McCreery died of a abdomen bullet wound. Conlin says he went to Dayton to seek money to return to California after asking McCreery for aid. He spoke through lawyer Irvin Delscamp who said the attorney acted to aid the court and prevent a guilty plea. Conlin told reporters he had not heard from his wife in California and feared they would be against him. The grand jury is expected to hear the case in about two weeks.
