Dougherty (surname)

Dougherty is a surname of Irish origin. It may refer to many people.

It is a phonetic transcription of O'Dochartaigh, meaning "son of Dochartach," and is a variation of Doherty.

Dougherty (apple)

'Dougherty' was an Australian cultivar of domesticated apple, which was grown mainly for export to the United Kingdom, from which a red colored mutation is marketed today as 'Red Dougherty'. 'Dougherty' produces medium-sized fruits at late season, skin background is greenish-yellow and flushed with some red. Flesh is yellowish with sweet flavour.

'Red Dougherty' was discovered around 1930 in Twyford, New Zealand and soon got very popular because of its attractive colour. It has a good resistance to many diseases and ripens at late season. Fruit is small to medium-sized, slightly ribbed, coloured dull red with some russeting. Flesh is firm and fine textured, greenish white, spicy and very sweet.

'Red Doughtery' is an ancestor of the 'Splendour' apple.

Under this last photo was the caption: Detective Third Grade William Dougherty studies murder weapon for clues.

The way the world usually worked, it was Detective Third Grade William Dougherty who would really be running the case and would know what was going on.

Parker looked in the local white pages and found only one William Dougherty listed, with the address 719 Laurel Road and the phone number Lloyd 6-5929.

He waited a couple of minutes, and then Detective Dougherty himself came to the door.

There was a closet near the front door, and Dougherty opened it and took out a baggy suitcoat that matched the baggy trousers he was wearing.

Detective Dougherty was a good enough detective to have been aware of all the opportunities Joe had given him to try for an arrest.

That, Dougherty thought to himself as he drove downtown, is probably the most enervating, the most spine softening, the most weakening thing that can happen to a man: to know that his wife and children are sitting with cocked heads listening for the sound of the shot that will kill him.

Two men were picked up when they came to apartments of people on the list Dougherty had given Joe.

The two cars came up out of the basement garage and paused for Dougherty to slip in beside the driver of the first car.

Detective Dougherty had to figure he was part of the mob that made the haul at the stadium.

It only made sense for Dougherty to put men on watch outside the homes of those nine men on his list with orders not to grab Parker when he showed up but to follow him when he left.

He saw Dougherty there, and another plain clothesman, and three or four cops in uniform.

As he stood in among the trees and watched, Dougherty and the other plainclothesman reached into the Ford and took out one of the suitcases and set it down on the ground next to the car.

Then Dougherty turned his head and looked at the woods in the general direction of Parker.

Nor are they like Major Dougherty in the village the whites call Belle-vue.
