POLICE MADE ME CONFESS
SAYS DOMINICI AT DRUMMOND MURDER TRIAL
Digne, France, Nov. 17.
Gaston Dominici, 77-year-old goat farmer, on trial for the murder of the Drummond family, said in court today he confessed to the crime only because of relentless police questioning.
Trembling with anger, he shouted across the crowded benches of the courtroom: "Inspector Sebeille came at me, shaking his fists and with his mouth wide open shouting it is you, the murderer'.
"Monsieur President of the Court, it warme did the same to you as they did to me. you would have aeter Ma 1 thes.
