MAN KILLED MAY
Be BANK ROBBER
Detective MoseIy States That
Body Is That of Roy
DickerSon

City Detective J. T. Mosely stated
last night after viewing the body of
the man who was killed by Special
Agent w. B. Ratteree at Trussville
yesterday afternoon at 1880 o'clock
on a Southern Railway freight train.
that he was positive the body was
that of Roy Dickerson, notorious
bank robber. Mr. Mosely stated that
he knew Dickerson personally and ar
rested him in Birmingham several
years ago.
Dickerson was a member of the
gang which held up bank in
Phoenix City three years ago. He
was captured. but broke Jail at Scale.
Ala. His wife Is now serving term
in the state penitentiary as a result
of being convicted of being an ao-
complete.
After breaking Jail for this robbery
Dickerson went to Florida and robbed
the office of the American Express
company In Tampa. Escaping the
Florida officers, Dickerson went
westward and last year was caught
and convicted of stealing 40 automo-
biles in Los Angeles, Cal. He served
part of his term and escaped from the
Los Angeles Jail. He was recaptured
and lodged in Jail in Colorado, but
escaped from there,
Dickerson has been at large for the
past several months and it is thought
quite probable that he may have been
coming southwark to see bis wife
when he was killed yesterday.
Bertillion measurements of the dead
man are to be made this morning and
compared with those of Dickerson.
Detective Mosely, however, is quite
confi8nt that the body Is that 'of
Dickerson. The body is being held
by Lige 10y.
