When Mrs Dupree wa
arrested she stated that Harry
Lee had assaulted both her
and her ton. (Her son, Mark is .
5'ir, weighing 150 pounds
and Harry Lee was 5'4'V
weighing ISO pounds.) She
claims she shot him in self
defense because she thought
that he was going to kill her
son. He supposedly had her
son pinned down on the
ground. The state contended
that the shooting was deli
berate and unprovoked, that
Mrs. Dupree shot Harry Lee
out of some imagined and
irrational fear for her son's
safety. She was charged with
first degree murder.
The trial was moved .
from Halifax to Vance
County because of pretrial
publicity and demonstration
in the small town of Scotland
Neck, N. C. Mrs. Dickens and
family said that the real
reason that it was moved
was due to the fact that both
blacks and whites disliked
Mrs. Sandra Dupree. How
could one like or respect a
person that sold "mace" to
children from her husband's
church. The trial began in
Henderson, N. C. on July 5,
1976 and lasted six days.
The day that the ver
dict was to be given by the
iurv. July 10, 1976, my
husband and I went to the.
courthouse to see the Dickens
family to see if they were
still holding up. People were
demonstrating outside,
carrying signs and marching
in an orderly fashion. Upon
entering the courthouse I was
met by a lagedj deputy. 1
was "ordered" abruptly to
take my camera inside the
Sherriff s office and leave it.
I told him that we were not
staying just looking for the
Dickens family, He spat out,
they am t here, they went
to eat lunch! My husband
and I went back outside and
he started shooting pictures
of the people demonstrating.
I recognized a tree lance
writer in the crowd and
approached her and asked if
the Dickens family had
actually gone to lunch. She
told me they were in the
courtroom fasting.
My husband and I
immediately went back into
the courthouse to the
Sherriff s office where he
checked his; camera; (not
receiving any type of receipt,
although he asked for one),
then proceeded to go up
stairs to the courtroom.
On -the way up we were
greeted by the same deputy,
who said, 'where you all
think you're going?" I re
plied, "to see the Dickens
family". "I told you all that
they ain't here, they went out
to lunch!" I looked him in
his eyes and said, "I just
spoke with someone and was
informed that they are up
stairs fasting in the court
room and besides we are
friends of the Dickens
family!" The deputy did
not say a word - he just
moved back out of our paths.
When we got to the top
of the stairs we were again
greeted by another deputy
who was middle aged and
much more pleasant. I told
him of our visit and he said
that he'd have to check my
bag and search my husband.
This was the normal proce
dure since the trial has been
going on. We spotted the

family sitting in the front
of the courtroom, which,at
the time was empty because
of lunch recess.
Mrs. Dickens was look
ing so tired and not feeling
too well. Early that week we
tried to get her to go the the
doctor because she suffers
with "dropsy" and her feet,
legs, toes, and body had
swollen something fierce. I
asked her how she felt and
she told me, "child, last night
I was feeling so bad, thinking
about my only son lying in
his grave and how he had to
die at such an early age, I had
even thought about killing
myself." 'Then I said no
Lord, I'm a Christian and my
children needs me." Mrs.
, Dickens said, "I don't hate
Mrs. Dupree even now that
the trial is almost over. I'm
even going to pray for her."
Mrs, Dickens said that the
doctor told her that it may be
a month, six months or even
a year from now and she will ,
be completely confined to a
wheelchair.
Katie Lee was pacing
back and forth in the court
room - she was tense. I.
followed her into one of the
chambers, and said, "Listen,
Katie Lee, whatever goes
down in tnis courtroom to
day, you have got to restrain
yourself. I know that you are
uptight and want justice for
your brother's death, but
your mama needs you and
Trisha (Patricia Powell) now
that Harry Lee's gone and if
you get too emotionally up
set and try to do anything to
Mrs. Dupree or even scream
out, you can be held for con
tempt of court and locked
up!" Katie Lee agreed that
she would restrain her
emotions the best that she
could.
I wanted to stay for the
trial to see the outcome but
my husband insisted that we
leave because he said that he
did not want me to be in the
midst of a riot, if one were to
break out after the verdict
was read. I kissed 'Mrs.
Dickens on the cheek and
told her to "hang in there",
told the sisters goodbye and
that we'd keep in touch.
Then I asked Katie Lee to
please be cool.
Onl July 10, 1976, after
three hours of deliberation,
the jury composed of eleven
whites and ONE black,
returned a verdict of NOT
guilty! Not guilty, how can
this be so? It had already
been established that Mrs.
Dupree had (1) indeed shot
Harry Lee in the back of his
head; (2) gone onto the
Dickens yard, uninvited; (3)
gone home, and returned with
a gun; (4) said in court that
she would die for her son,
Mark. Then why was she not
charged with voluntary man
slaughter, trespassing, gun
possession or anything but
being declared "innoncent".
Had the colors of both
parties been reversed, some
black woman would be sitting
in jail right now!
Although Mrs. Sandra
Dupree is free, Harry is not
suffering anymore. Mrs.
Dupree will have to live with
this murder of a young man
for the rest of her life. Her
time will come when she too
will have to meet her
"maker".

Here's Looking at You
By Kathryn Curran
each P)(o)
This year's fashion direction I
is a return to elegance. Not the
costumey, thrift shop variety
so popular in recent years,
but a return to beautiful fab
rics, classic lines and a self
assured femininity. Blouses are
soft and supple. Suits accent
the feminine figure and shoes,
with high graceful heels give
ankles a flattering, seductive
look. The ingenue we all cele
brated has grown up, and she's
a beautiful woman.
Cosmetics, too have devel
oped past the ultra "natural
look" to a more definite state
ment that says, "I'm a woman
and I take the time and trouble
to look as great as I can."
Lipsticks are in shades of true
red and of course cheek gloss
ers, nail enamel and just about
everything you can think of co
ordinate to create a total look.
This return to classics isn't
a new idea. It happens again
and again, usually after the
fashion world has sold us on
some ridiculous styles we
shouldn't have worn in the
first place. Classics in any
field will never be truly "out
nf stvla Whirth brings us to
our first question, prompted by
the Bicentennial: . ,
n faiito thert are many folh-
till used for beauty
mirtuiaea. but have, any "brand
' none" products survived since
the American Revolution? ,
A v. indeed. Pears Natural
Transparent Soap, from Eng
land i till aolnc strong. In
11
fact. Pears recently announced
it would be available in more
drug and department stores in
the United States than ever be
fore. It was first marketed by
Andrew Pears in England in
1789, the year Ueorge wasning
ton was inaugurated.
What makes a product so
annular that it stays on the
market for almost two hundred
years? In a word, quality. The
same kind of attention to de
tail and care in choosing in
gredients that make any prod
uct a "classic." Pears is still
produced in a carefully con
trolled way, with many steps
in the process done by hand.
This is true quality control.
Only pure, natural ingredients
go into Fears soap, to souen
and moisturize skin while
cleansing it of impurities. It's
pretty, too.., a transparent am
ber colored glycerine oval,
with a unique scent you can
only call "clean." No wonder
Pears has been the soap of
British Royalty for generations.
If you'ean't find Pears Nat
ural Transparent Soap In your
local pharmacy or department
store, drop me a note and I'll
send you the name of your
nearest dealer. Using Pears Is
an experience you can share
with almost two hundred years
of beautiful women, and per
fect for your return to the age
of elegance.
