Former DA says love for words enhances his life Recalls life as a DA and retirement By Sherry Kughn The Star Marketing Department
Former Calhoun County District Attorney Bob Field recently sat in his quiet office on 13th and Noble Street listening for the telephone that didn’t ring and for the front door that jingled only once during an interview. His secretary was off that day, he said, and his law partner was heading out the door. “I’m closing this office,” he said. “I’m retiring.” Field, a tall and fit 79-year-old, was district attorney (DA) during the civil rights unrest in the 1960s and 1970s in Anniston, and he prosecuted or helped prosecute (with current DA Joe Hubbard) a few of Calhoun County’s most notorious murder trials, such as those involving Marie Hilley, James Callahan and William Glenn Boyd. Field said he loved his job as DA for many reasons, but it was a love for words that led him to law enforcement and led him to the many hobbies he has enjoyed for years, such as riding horses, sailing boats, paddling canoes, and speeding along the Chief Ladiga Trail on his bicycle. He knew little about any of these activities until he read about them and studied how to do them well. “I was sailing for the first time and wondered why I had no control over the boat,” said Field. “A fisherman passed by me; pointed to the tiller, which was turned upside down on my

His job was to teach Air Force pilots how to survive Arctic weather. A friend told him how wonderful and warm (Field dislikes cold weather) life was at the University
of Alabama. Field went there and majored in English under the astute writer and professor Hudson Strode. While at UA, he also enrolled in a program that allowed students who completed their studies in three years to take all of their electives as law courses. The courses served as students’ first year of law school. Field, who married Anna Lee of Birmingham while in school, stayed in

Alabama after graduating in 1959. He practiced law briefly in Prattville and remembered one of his first cases. “I was told to represent a guy with a DUI whom I had never met,” said Field. “Before I said anything, the judge announced that the fellow’s case had the status of nolle prosequid. I spoke up and said that I wanted to be heard. The judge motioned with his forefinger for me to come forward, and he quietly asked me if I knew that nolle prosequid meant the case was dismissed. I said ‘no,’ turned around, and returned to my seat.” By the time he came to Anniston as an insurance adjuster, Field was the father of two daughters and a son. Later, he took the job as city attorney in 1964 as racial tensions were peaking. Looking back on those troubled times, he said he was glad to have served with Anniston Mayor Claude Dear and City Commissioner Miller Sproull, both of whom wanted to see justice done against those involved in “disrupting schools, local businesses and peaceful assemblies,” according to Field. Eventually, Field was responsible for prosecuting the leader of the racist group, the National States Rights party, Kenneth Adams, for shooting two African-American brothers. All all-white, male jury found Adams
guilty. At times back then, Field was disturbed but intrigued by the racial tension. “I remember going to the court house one day listening to the Rev. Connie Lynch [an inflammatory racist evangelist] when Adams, his friends and a big white dog approached the police barricade in front of the court house. Captain C.F. Pate saw Adams and told him not to come any closer or he would ‘shoot him between the eyes and then shoot his dog.’” Adams stayed put. Field said his work as city attorney, including the six months he served also interim city manager, was sometimes difficult and disappointing. He stayed on, though, until he was elected DA in 1975 and stayed until he went into private law practice in 1993. He found his highest career fulfillment as DA for several reasons. “Working with the police gave me satisfaction,” said Field. “The ones I knew from then stay in contact with me even now. I also liked helping the victims of crime, giving them closure.” Field said he also enjoying the feelings that came from facilitating every facet of the justice system. “Seeing that justice is served is trite but true,” said Field, although he added he never grew accustomed to the “vio-
lence that people could put on one another.” Even with an education, a career and his hobbies influenced by the power of words, their influence does not stop there. Field is a writer and heads a writers’ group of about eight members that is based at his church, Covenant Presbyterian in Lenlock. Also, about 35 years ago, he started keeping journals, at first by only jotting down each day’s events. Gradually, he added in his feelings about life’s events. He seems amazed that he has filled about three dozen notebooks. They stay under lock and key at his home in Alexandria, and he said no one in the family seems interested in reading his long-hand writing except one of his daughters. “She’s a school teacher,” he said, “and maybe she wants to do something with them one day.” After retirement, Field plans to enjoy more time with his wife and children, especially his seven grandchildren. He said he hopes he can begin to enter his daily commentary into his computer by learning to type, a word-related skill that is vital for such a man as Field. Sherry Kughn is a freelance writer in Anniston.
