Paul Garrett Papers: 9 - Daggitt Case 1949 V-1950 John Vincent, UCLA to Paul Garrett, Nov. 23, 1949 - Says he engaged George Daggitt as temporary replacement, but Henderson didn't return so George Daggitt stayed on. "Although I believe he was maladjusted and that he was definitely queer in some respects, I never suspected any criminal tendency and even now I hope that he can be cleared of actual participation in the murder. There seem to be too many witnesses to his involvement in the extortion matter and probably he is guilty of this." Park City Daily News, 4/3/1951 - Daggit Case 1951 George Daggit said he was "happy about the dismissal of the charges, but I'm not in the least surprised." Appellate Court reversed George Daggit's 11 year sentence, accessory to murder of Dr. & Mrs. C.B. Martin in June 1948 Commonwealth Attorney J.T. Orendorf disagreed with reversal but moved that the charge be dropped. George Daggit was implicated in the murder by Harry Edward Kilgore, who received two life sentences.
