Ob\u011b\u0165: Pr\u016fkopnick\u00fd podnikatel<\/h2>\n\n

Benjamin J. Burton byl v\u00fdznamnou osobnost\u00ed Newportu ve st\u00e1t\u011b Rhode Island b\u011bhem zlacen\u00e9ho v\u011bku.

Burton zalo\u017eil n\u011bkolik podnik\u016f, v\u010detn\u011b expresn\u00ed a p\u0159epravn\u00ed spole\u010dnosti, kter\u00e1 se stala d\u016fle\u017eitou sou\u010d\u00e1st\u00ed dopravn\u00edho syst\u00e9mu Newportu.<\/p>\n\n

  1. \u0159\u00edjna 1885 byl Burton nalezen mrtv\u00fd ve sv\u00e9m dom\u011b na Levin Street. Byl dvakr\u00e1t st\u0159elen, jednou do hlavy a jednou do hrudi. Vra\u017eda \u0161okovala komunitu a vyslala vlny strachu a nejistoty Newportem.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Vy\u0161et\u0159ov\u00e1n\u00ed: S\u00ed\u0165 podez\u0159en\u00ed<\/h2>\n\n

    \u00da\u0159ady zpo\u010d\u00e1tku podez\u00edraly sebevra\u017edu, ale dal\u0161\u00ed vy\u0161et\u0159ov\u00e1n\u00ed odhalilo nesrovnalosti v t\u00e9to teorii. \u010clenov\u00e9 Burtonovy rodiny a jeho bl\u00edzc\u00ed spolupracovn\u00edci trvali na tom, \u017ee byl v dobr\u00e9 n\u00e1lad\u011b a nevyjad\u0159oval sebevra\u017eedn\u00e9 my\u0161lenky.<\/p>\n\n

    Patrick J. Galvin, mlad\u00fd obh\u00e1jce zn\u00e1m\u00fd sv\u00fdm zast\u00e1v\u00e1n\u00edm se za znev\u00fdhodn\u011bn\u00e9, se zapojil do p\u0159\u00edpadu a za\u010dal podez\u00edrat ciz\u00ed zavin\u011bn\u00ed. P\u0159esv\u011bd\u010dil \u00fa\u0159ady, aby exhumovaly Burtonovo t\u011blo a provedly pitvu, kter\u00e1 uk\u00e1zala, \u017ee st\u0159eln\u00e1 zran\u011bn\u00ed nebyla v souladu se sebevra\u017edou.<\/p>\n\n

    Podez\u0159el\u00ed: Man\u017eel a man\u017eelka se tajemstv\u00edmi<\/h2>\n\n

    Galvinovo vy\u0161et\u0159ov\u00e1n\u00ed se brzy zam\u011b\u0159ilo na Burtonovu dceru Marii Burtonovou Dorseyovou a jej\u00edho man\u017eela Allena Dorseyho. Allen byl medikem, kter\u00fd se ned\u00e1vno o\u017eenil s Mari\u00ed. P\u00e1r m\u011bl finan\u010dn\u00ed probl\u00e9my a kolovaly zv\u011bsti, \u017ee Allen na Burtona nal\u00e9hal, aby mu dal zna\u010dn\u00e9 v\u011bno.<\/p>\n\n

    Soud: Bitva d\u016fvtipu<\/h2>\n\n

    Allen a Maria Dorseyovi byli zat\u010deni a obvin\u011bni z Burtonovy vra\u017edy. Jejich soud se stal senza\u010dn\u00ed ud\u00e1lost\u00ed, p\u0159i\u010dem\u017e v\u00fdznamn\u00ed pr\u00e1vn\u00edci William Paine Sheffield Jr. a Patrick J. Galvin zastupovali obhajobu, resp. \u017ealobu.<\/p>\n\n

    Galvin p\u0159edlo\u017eil p\u0159esv\u011bd\u010div\u00e9 d\u016fkazy o tom, \u017ee Allen Dorsey zabil Burtona, aby z\u00edskal v\u011bno. P\u0159edvolal sv\u011bdky, kte\u0159\u00ed vypov\u00eddali o Allenov\u00fdch finan\u010dn\u00edch probl\u00e9mech a jeho hrozb\u00e1ch v\u016f\u010di Burtonovi. Maria Dorseyov\u00e1 nakonec p\u0159iznala svou \u00fa\u010dast na spiknut\u00ed a odhalila, \u017ee sly\u0161ela sv\u00e9ho otce mluvit o \u017eivotn\u00ed pojistce, kter\u00e1 by mohla Allenovi poskytnout pen\u00edze, kter\u00e9 pot\u0159eboval.<\/p>\n\n

    Verdikt: Vinni<\/h2>\n\n

    Po dlouh\u00e9m soudn\u00edm procesu shledala porota Allena a Marii Dorseyovy vinn\u00fdmi z vra\u017edy. Oba byli odsouzeni k do\u017eivotn\u00edmu v\u011bzen\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n

    N\u00e1sledky: D\u011bdictv\u00ed trag\u00e9die<\/h2>\n\n

    Burtonova vra\u017eda zanechala trvalou jizvu na Newportu. Jeho d\u011bdictv\u00ed pr\u016fkopnick\u00e9ho podnikatele bylo zast\u00edn\u011bno tragick\u00fdmi okolnostmi jeho smrti. Allen Dorsey si zachoval svou nevinu a\u017e do sv\u00e9 smrti a tvrdil, \u017ee jeho motivem bylo tajemstv\u00ed, kter\u00e9 si vezme do hrobu. Maria Dorseyov\u00e1 zem\u0159ela ve v\u011bzen\u00ed dva roky po sv\u00e9m odsouzen\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n
