Swiskowski was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to ten years in prison for the lethal assault of William H. Murray. His defense attorney, Milton Dashiell, was a prominent segregationist and the very same man who had drafted Baltimore’s infamous apartheid ordinance of 1910. The city’s second segregation ordinance would be drafted by a man named William L. Marbury. Marbury would later head the board of managers of Crownsville Hospital.
