er only little evidence had been
introduced. Guy w. Martin, a fell
low employee of DOrsey'S, testified to
his fine character and the fact that
he seemed to have no enemies. E.
c. Bryant told how the call came in
from Cherokee avenue, how Dorsey
was sent to answer the call. and how
his body was found Tuesday morn

of the amount of gasoline burned in
the car were wrong, and that it was
hard to say how far the car Travelled
after leaving the Bryant stand
whether it was only few miles or
many miles.

titled that there was $3.50 in Dor
sey's pockets when the body was
found, and his watch and ring were
on him. After this evidence, the in
