Winslow is also being charged in Lancaster County for first degree assault of a Harvester Motel clerk in October, for which he pleaded guilty last week. The original beating charges against Winslow will be modified in return for Winslow's guilty plea to the assault of the motel clerk and cooperation with investigators in the Helen Wilson murder case, said Lancaster County Attorney Mike Heavican. Winslow's information "played an important part" in. tne arrests of Ada Joann Taylor, and Joseph Edgar White, 26, in the Beatrice murder case, said Gage County Sheriff Jerry DeWitt.

Mrs. Wilson, 68, was murdered in her Beatrice apartment, 212 N. Sixth on Feb. 5 or Feb. 6, 1985.

A personal recognizance bond allows a person to be released with just a signature, agreeing to appear in court on the day and time assigned.

The dollar amount listed indicates the penalty for not appearing as required, Lacey said. Another condition of Winslow's release was that he report to the Gage County attorney's office daily. Winslow was granted "use immunity" in testifying in the Beatrice case which meant that anything he told authorities at a specific time conditionally would not be used against him, according to Smith.

Ernie Chambers argued against the bill saying that it doesn't go far enough toward nailing the big drug dealers while penalizing the people he called victims, the small-time dealers and users. "You could put a mandatory 50-year penalty on this and it wouldn't work, it would not end the problem," Chambers said, adding that law enforcement personnel need to get tough with the big dealers and the crack houses before any headway can be made in fighting drugs.
