Featured in this lot is this Dodge City guilty verdict against Alice Chambers or Dora Hand circa 1877; Provenance: From the Tombstone Western Heritage Museum in Tombstone, Arizona. The court document features a wonderfully and professionally crafted handwritten construction that dictates a guilty verdict (uniquely left blank) and orders a fine of $30.00 to be paid and is signed at the bottom by D.D. Colby. Alice Chambers or Dora Hand is famously the only woman to be buried at Boot Hill cemetery and is also famously the last individual buried at Boot Hill. There are mixed reports on her death, some say there are undisclosed details of her demise and other reports suggest she took a bullet meant for Mayor James Kelly just under her right arm killing her instantly. The document comes complete with an original museum tag that reads as follows: 33. Guilty Verdict - for Alice Chambers - Well Known Dodge City Prostitute - July 1877. The condition of this Dodge City Court document is well preserved with no obvious signs of damage and shows slight browning to the page consistent with age but otherwise shows a well preserved condition.
