MIR. e. M. Reardon, cashier of the City
national bank of this city, to-day received a
letter from Mrs. Della B. Dodson, at Muck
ross, Mecklenburg county, Va, making
anxious inquiry about her son, Lewis 3.
Dodson, whom she had heard had been
lynched at or near Dallas, Tex. She stated
that she had lost her husband in the late
war and was now bereft of her son. The
letter at once carried the minds of the po-
lice and reporters to the case of the Dotson
who was so seriously stabbed at dance in
West Dallas last Christmas eve, who
thought perhaps the report that he was
lynched had grown out of that ARRAY, but
on inquiry it was found that the names of
the parties were spelled a little different.
It is not improbable, however, that the re-
port which reached the anxious mothers
ears that man named Dodson had been
lynched at Dallas did grow out of the fact
that an ARRAY did occur near Dallas. and
man named DotsOn was seriously stabbed
If any reader of The GAZETTE knows
Lewis B. Dodson, they would confer a IA
yor by communicating the fact to his
mother
