Jury Trial of Houston Boy in Mollie Dudley Slaying Ends in Deadlock
In Houston on July 16 the jury trying Bob Robinson for the January 2 murder of Mollie Dudley, a divorced young woman, reported a deadlock after hours of deliberation. Judge J. M. Coombs sent the jurors back and said he would wait for a verdict as long as they stayed awake, with plans to keep the panel together for the week if no agreement is reached. The case examined relations between Dr. Robison, the defendant’s father, and Mollie Dudley, whom Robinson claimed was breaking up his father’s home. A defense attorney contended the son is being tried for the sins of the father. Mrs. Robinson caused a stir in court when she expressed emotion. The jury sent one written question to the judge, whose answer was not disclosed.
