An itinerant painter told police in Washington on May 21 1921 that he killed Jordan Rowe in Georgia in 1921. He described striking Rowe with a rock and dumping the body in the Flint River. Officials recalled Rowe’s body being recovered that year and noted head marks suggestive of violence.
Relatives in Columbus Georgia and Jordan Rowe, who drowned in 1928 near Thomaston, say a painter’s claimed confession to the murder is a hoax. The local death was ruled accidental by Upson authorities and closed until later remarks by Doke to Washington police. He remains in state custody on an open charge and has been sent to a hospital for observation.
