In June of 1971 Vineland N.J., there was a strange occult killing that took place in Menantico sandwash in a place they call CLEAR POND. Patrick Michael Newell who graduated high school in 1969 spent most of his time in occult studies. Also he taught small groups of students in the Vineland schools. This is of course had nothing to do with occult studies and his involvment in the occult was very secretive. He was a straight lace individual in appearance and was respected by the school staff. He had his two friends Richard Williams and Wayne Swikert drive him to clear pond. He asked them to bound his hands and feet. He then gave a service to the Devil and asked his friends if they would proceed with the killing. He was pushed into CLEAR POND and his body submerged then two days later discovered. Williams and SWIKERT were arrested and sent to Yardville prison for 5 years. When questioned Williams stated that Newell had to die violently so that he could be in command of 40 leagues of demons in Hell.
The quote of 40 leagues demons instead of legions is telling? What are your view points? He professed to sit on the right hand of Satan or Lucifer upon his sacrifice rather than the left shows that either the quotes were wrong, he was drunk, or had little real knowledge of demonology or what he was doing. I conducted a investigation in to the mysterious murder case during the 80's. I interviewed the mayor of Vineland who clamied to be good friends with Newell. He thought that Newell belonged to The Church Of Satan. A particular group of middle aged individuals who were judges and doctors in Cumberland County. Newell being a ripe and juicy age of 21, was ininitiated into the church. Police cheif Charles Pangburn confiscated the literature in Newell's room and it was never revealed to the public.
I was 15 years of age when the murder took place. Many of us were afraid to walk home from school as a few kids our age were picked up by the police as witnesses. Williams stated that Newell belonged to a Satan worshippers sect. This happening in 1971 caused the whole cumberland county quite a scare. Today most people would not even blink an eye. My most difficult research came when I tried to pin down his self-sacrifice. I read up on the bog burials in Ireland + Northern Europe for an introduction to self-sacrifice. I tried James G. Frazier's The GOLDEN BOUGH, which there is much on the subject but no luck in pinning down Newell's sacrifice. His sacrifice is directly tied into Christian/Satanism in his belief that his self-sacrifice would engender the protection / aid of Christian demons. I tried Arthur Edward Waite with no luck. Also tried Colin De Plancy Dictionnaire but no telling of this particular sacrifice. Could this have been taken from a modern translation? Or was Newell delusional enough to trust in a ritual he made up himself? If anyone knows exactly where I can locate this ritual it would help me a great deal in finishing a book. Please ?........thanks Dracca
