Alexander Sparks, the first husband of Doris Dazay, at the murder trial of George Dazey, Los Angeles, 1940

Description:
Alexander Sparks, the first husband of Doris Dazey, who was allegedly murdered by her second husband, George Dazey. At the trial, Sparks testified that he had remained friendly with his ex-wife and the two had occupied the same hotel room in 1934. This aided the prosecution's claim that George Dazey had committed murder because he was unsure of the paternity of a boy born to Mrs. Dazey in 1935.
