Murder Trial Juror Examinations Delays Court Proceedings
The Clinton Dotson murder case from August 5, 1898, in American Gulch opened with juror examinations. Prosecutors J H Duffy and J T Casey led the state witnesses while defense counsel Trippet and Sell represented the accused. Jurors faced questions about prior reading of articles and opinions formed, with several excused for bias. Witness lists for both sides were read, and a large crowd gathered in the district court as a reform school matter intersected with the day’s docket.
