Sentencing Delayed for Two Convicted in Ronnie Sier Beating
Two 22 year old youths from Wilmington and New York City pleaded guilty to assault and battery in Baltimore County Circuit Court over the fatal 1964 beating of Ronnie Lee Sier in Frederick County. Judge Turnbull granted acquittal on manslaughter and related charges, ordered a pre sentence investigation, and noted the absence of malice and conflicts in medical testimony. The state and defense presented competing stipulations on cause of death and who struck Sier, with the defense arguing pneumonia was unrelated to brain injury and the fight involved no clear culprit.

He asserts the plant was designed to serve about 3,000 people within and beyond town limits for 25 years, with Emmitsburg’s 1960 census at 1,369 and current estimates near 1,400.
