Bell Case Up Third Time In Court
A Circuit Court jury hears again the State's case accusing Dyson G Bell of posing as an out of state truck driver and stealing 330 and a watch from Lewis E Covell on April 3. Previous juries failed to agree, with Covell and his father testifying Bell was at the house and that Bell claimed trucker status. Bell says he returned home alone from a club and later drove a cab in Indianapolis before authorities sought him. Witnesses link Bell to the club but not conclusively to Covell. Retrial of John C Wills on an unauthorized use charge and Fred W Naill on grand larceny and receiving stolen goods are also set for today.
