IS HERED|TY TO
BLAME FOR THIS
Boys BADNESS?
Son of Man Who Was Hanged
for Successfully Plotting
Murder of Father.

Deadwood. S. D.. June 14.--1s Logan.
Dotson, an ~1S-year-old boy. now in the
Lawrence county Jail, a victim of VIC
ious heredityc To those acquainted
with the history of the Dotson fam
lily the question is an interesting one.
Young Dotson was brought in from
a ranch yesterday by the sheriff. and is
charged with having fired shots at a
rancher name Peatow with the full
intention to kill. The boy denies the
charges and states he was only prac-
tlcing with Il rifle and that the bullets
Will be found In the log that he was
using as a target. 1t is not the first
time. however, that Dotson has been
charged with an o~ffense, as last year
he was arrested and given trial for
having written threatening letters to
a woman of Crook City. He vas given
the benefit of a doubt and discharged,
with the warming hat connection with
any such case again would prove more
serious.
His Father Killed Father.
Logan is the son of Clint Dotson,
who was hanged some years ago In
Anaconda, Mont. for the murder of his
own father, Camp Dotson. The story
is q horrible one and without a parallel
IN The annals of crime in the west.
Clint Dotson and two others We're
found guilty of the murder of an old
~prospector, n Dotson was given a life
sentence. One of the chief witnesses
father. Camp Dotson, who very reluct-
antly gave the testimony that fastened
the guilt of the crime upon his son and
his associates.
Two years later the people of Ana
conda We're startled by the news tina
old Camp Dotson, living alone in
WASHINGTON gulch. had committed sui
eide Thn =, 1n,- 49,
the prisoners at the Montana peniten-
larry where Clint Dotson was serving
MS sentence, revealed to the warden
the story of the crime. He said that
Clint Dotson had made arrangements
with one of the prisoners who was dis
charged a few days previous to go to
Washington gulch. kill Camp Dotson,
and leave Il letter. supposedly written
oy the old man, stating h a Camp Dot
son and his two associates were inno-
cent n that he. the father. was guilty
If the murder. and had killed himself
because of his remorse.
Easy to Prove Plot.
Inc letter was found just as the
convict had described and the released
convict vas a%pprehended n few miles
rom the scene of the crime. The whole
plan had been Matched in the brain of
INIT Dotson. who expected on the
'trength of the supposed confession of
as father to secure a speedy pardon.
evidence proved that Camp Dotson had
been shot through a chink in the cabin
n that the writing on the note was
not his. but that of his son Clint. Dot
SON and his partner in crime were both
convicted and hanged in Anaconda,
Mont.
Dotson went to his doom with a
:oolness that has never been equallcd.
Just before the black cap was drawn
over his face he asked for a chew of
tobacco and was chewing it uncon-
cernedly when the trap was sprung.
And now the question arises. is Lo-
gan Dotson. with such a h%eredity. to
be blamed or pitied even if the charges
recently made against him are true?

Considerable time was consumed this
morning in arguments relative to the
admission of the testimony of one
John Nelson who has out recently been

objected to this admission. declaring it
