...little until told that Belly had become a literary hit. Said Morgan City Detective Bob Bazet: "When he heard that, he really picked up." "As an entertainer, I'd like to be known just as Melvin Dum-mar-without Howard Hughes," says the former gas-station owner from Cedar City, Utah. Dummar, 37, vaulted out of obscurity after he claimed that in 1967 he befriended a haggard hitchhiker in the Nevada desert, who later turned out to be the eccentric megamillionaire...
