Dorr Letter Found Ties Stockton Man to Lynn Murder Case
In Stockton California April 19 two developments shadow William A. Dorr now jailed in Lynn Massachusetts. A Colts revolver matching the murder scene serial number was traced to Dorr who disappeared from Stockton a month ago. A special delivery letter to his aunt Miss Orpha Marsh from Lynn reveals he watched George Marsh’s house for three days. Chief Briare awaits a dictograph before further interviews. Dorr’s cocaine poisoning from dyed hair hampers him but he expects to reenter the sweat box soon. An officer from Lynn is due next week to take charge and police hope for a confession in Stockton. Detective Jack Gayou recalls Dorr once tipped him to a reward, took the prize, and mocked easy money.
