SAYS DOlER WAS GOADED TO DESPERATION

lated time after time by this woman
calling up the house on the phone
he had seen his son being dragged
lower and lower despite his pleadings
and efforts. 1t is not true that the
son had never been punished. The
father had used punishment of a
physical nature in years past. but
without effect The accumulation of
wrongs and sufferings goaded him
into a temporary fit of almost insan-
ity and he did what in cooler mo-
ment he undoubtedly regretted.
Public sentiment in Dawson
among the best class of people is
not against Mr.. Dozier. Those who
know him best appreciate and realize
the conditions that have distressed
him for so long a time and sympa-
thize with him, even though they
condemn and regret his precipitate
action in personally Furnishing the
Carter woman"
