Judge Roy Fenicrs handed down a directed verdict of innocent in Sweets second trial on a charge of kidnapping and robbing a doctor in 1933.

Sweet was convicted and scu- ienccd in life imprisonment for the crime. He denied the charge. and Dr. R. L. Dooley. victim of the kidnapping. said he could not identify Sweet as the kidnapper.

The case was reopened and tried again before Judge Fenters. Sweet was able to prove that he was working on ll cattle ranch in Miln- lana miles from the scene of the kidnapping.
