The Wrong Man from Willingham
Dexter Rollins was a studious and ambitious high school senior who was close to achieving his lifelong dream of going to college. But that dream was suddenly derailed when he was framed for murder. Evidence set up by the real killer, and the fact that Dexter was the last person seen with the victim, convinced the police and everyone else that he committed the crime. The people of Willingham, Texas were shocked and angered by the tragic murder in their community. They wanted blood. They wanted revenge. They wanted the arrest, conviction, and death of Dexter Rollins. Everything seemed to be stacked against him. The victim was the daughter-in-law of a powerful politician. The State assigned their best litigator to prosecute the case. Dexter was provided a novice as his court appointed attorney. The evidence all pointed toward Dexter’s guilt. A wrongful conviction and subsequent death sentence appeared to be his fate. Would he be able to somehow beat all the odds and save his own life? Keywords: Emotional, Insightful, Powerful, Suspenseful, Justice, Murder, Trial, Legal, Death Penalty

Descendants and relatives lived mainly in West Virginia.
Of Bondage
Here, Bailey shows that the early modern theatre, itself dependent on debt bonds, was uniquely positioned to stage the complex ethical issues raised by a system of forfeiture that registered as a bodily event.
