C„ TUESDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 25, 1953 i The mysterious death of l John D. McLean, 30-year-old f Negro of, Erwin, Route 1, was still a mystery today, but a Jury impaneled by Har nett Coroner Grover C. Hen derson ordered two Negro neighbors held for the grand jury. Authorities at first expressed be lief that the Negro’s body was tied behind a car or some other vehicle and literally dragged to death. Dr. Charlie Byrd, local physician who conducted an autopsy on the. body, expressed doubt that the young Negro farm hand was drag ged to death and advanced the theory that he could have been ■ squeezed or twisted to death by wires or cords. His body was found Sunday morning about 2:30. The physician said death was caused by hemorrhages of the chest which apparently could not have been caused by a blow, a sharp ln -1 strument or by being run over with an automobile. BAFFLING CASE Coroner Henderson said author ities and jurors alike were baffled. Two Negro neighbors who were ’ last seen with McLean.
