Watchman’s Lawyer Says He Will Await Return of Dorsey Before Filing Habeas Corpus.
On account of the absence form the city of Prosecuting Attorney Hugh M. Dorsey, Bernard L. Chappell, attorney for Newt Lee, announced Saturday that he would not file a writ of habeas corpus until Monday. He claims in the petition for the release of the negro that Lee is being held unlawfully and without any charge against him.
Solicitor Dorsey left for his country place at Valdosta, Ga., Saturday morning. He will return Monday.
