Witness Repudiates Statement in Dr Little Case Breathes Fire
Charges of receiving stolen goods against Dr. Perry P. Little were dropped by District Court Judge Byron Haworth after two witnesses testified. Charles Dowdy denied taking two suits from Richardson's Department Store and selling them to Little, claiming he signed a statement under pressure and a possible jail escape incentive. Det. D. M. Kelly also testified briefly but was barred from detailing the larceny statement. Dowdy and Jerry McCrease Mack remain charged with larceny and await trial. Mock, tied to the case, faces heroin and forgery charges and is jailed in Davidson County.
