State Man Cleared; His Release Ordered

The criminal court of appeals Wednesday reversed the case of Mose "Sonny" Doty, given two years for manslaughter in second degree in Creek county, and ordered his discharged.

Doty had contended the evidence was insufficient to convict him in connection with the auto death of Burrell Wadsworth Rice at Sapulpa.
