Jaycie, I just read and enjoyed your research on the career of John V. Dowdy. ( He was so awful, in so many ways.) I read it because of the connection with my own family. Thomas M. Hobbs was my great grandfather (maternal side) - also a very awful man. Interestingly, my father’s father, WD Justice, was his defense attorney - about 5 years before my parents met, in Athens. I am researching the Hobbs murder of Pape Bradley. It was a story that my mother told me over many years -little by little. I heard the surprising conclusion from her only shortly before she died. If you have any additional information about that case, I would love to know about it.
