Douglas - Joe
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 17 May 1901
Joe Douglas, who on Saturday was acquitted of the murder of Charley Doyle, will not remain in Crawfordsville. He states that he has a job in Fountain County and will go there in a few days. He further states that he will desert the disreputable wife who has been the cause of all his troubles. His relatives have insisted strongly on this point. On Saturday evening he went home with one of his brothers and spent Sunday along Black Creek. Before he left the jail he was given back his trusty shot gun and has probably cut a couple of notches in the stock before this. Parrish has been returned to his home in Richmond by his mother. Helpless as an infant, he will hereafter be a burden on her. As she acquires her money with no great exertion, however, the burden will probably not be so great as might be expected. The Parrishes were not at all pleased with the verdict.
