GUN-TOTER IS
FOUND GUILTY
Dodson to be Given His
Sentence This Morning
by Justice tombstone.
SAYS HE CARRIED
BIG GUN IN HAND

George Dodson. who was arrested
with James Gibson. highwayman. sus-
pected for time of being an accom-
plice OF that offender and later mere
ly charged with carrying concealed
weapons, was tried and found guilty
in Justice Johnstone's court yester-
day afternoon. Sentence will be pro-
nounced this morning
Dodson made defense He swore
on the stand that he walked from his
home at 1922 East Monroe street to
the Stag pool room with that big blue
Colt gun in his hand on the night
OF his arrest. He said that he went
into the Stag and stood around. ming
ling with the men and boys there,
still carrying the weapon in sight.
Then, he went on. Mexican boy
came in. tod him the police were
looking for him, and he walked into
the club rooms at the rear of the
place and turned the shooting iron
over 10 an attache.
His excuse for all this armed pa
radc WAS that he Was taking the gun
back TO its owner from whom it
had been borrowed.
Witnesses for the prosecution said
that they saw DodSon on that night
and that he WAS not carrying the
gun. The court was evidently in
censed by what he termed the ''un-
willingness" of some of Dodson's wit
nesses. and rebuked one OF them from
the bench.
The officers consider DOdsons eX-
plaration as a huge joke.
