Strange man who fled sought by police in Dodgen death
Four detainees held at the city station in connection with the death of Bailiff John G Dodgen are under police questioning. Detectives seek a mysterious man seen fleeing the residence at 530 12 Marietta Street where the shooting occurred. Authorities doubt the Stamper woman account of a single shot and suspect Dodgen was killed during a house quarrel with at least two shots heard. The coroner's inquest urged keeping the quartet for grand jury review as investigators pursue multiple leads and a possible second shooter.
