Dozier Got* 16 Tears
* The jury in the Dozier cane,
which was trial as w? went to
press last Thursday, returned a
verdict of guilty Saturday morn-
ing a>nd assessed punishment at
sixteen year* in the state peni-
tentiary, which tile defendant ae-
ceepted and ut once received
sentence.
The trial began Tuesday mum-
ing ami closed with t'hc argu
meats at 10 o’clock Friday
night. During all th-e time <rf
the trial, the court room Nvas
packed with pensile from all
parts of 5 tlie county. Men,
women and children crowded
. ...each other for first row scats or
standing room against tin* rail-
ing, where the tewtimony, which
was materially tjlie same as in
the former trial, could be more
easily heard. Fuller Dozier, the
defendant, took tin* stand in
Mrs trial, which lie did not do
m the former one.
The case of Fuller Doeioer is
known to most of our people. In
February, 1917, the lifeless body
of Tom Fitzgerald was found in
a clump of bushes near the Doz-
ier residence. A budet hole was
iu the baek of the head uiud
the re we»ro marks on the ground
indicating that the body hud fall-
en from a horse and had after-
ward* been dragged by some
oue to Die spot where it was hid.
Circumstantial evidence led to
*he arrest of Fuller Dozier, ?
life-long friend of the deeea*H*j,
and he was brought Ju re, plac-
ed in jail and deified bail. At the
\'March term of court he was con-
victed ami given thirty years.
The ease was appealed and re-
versed ami sent back for retrial.
