Dr. E. B. Marshall, the dentist,
shot himself in his room Monday
night at the Wright House, and died
instantly from the wound.
The deed was done between 12 and
2 o’clock in the morning, and owing
to the fact that his room was tightly
closed, no one was aroused in the
hotel by the report of the pistol.
WHEN DISCOVERED.
Failing to appear at breakfast
about 7:30 o’clock Tuesday morning,
the porter was sent to wake him, but
the door was locked, he could secure
no response. Mr.-Judge Wright then
told the porter to climb through the
transom, and on his entrance into
the room the horrible disclosure of :t
dead man with a pistol in his hand
presented itself. Frightened beyond
control, he hurriedly unlocked the
door, rushed out of the room and
with bated breath told of his dis
covery.
Mr. Wright with other gentlemen
entered the room and Inurnl the life
less form of Dr. Marshall in lied. He
was lying partially on his left .-ide,
with a 32 Colt’s revolver in his rigid
hand, the thumb on the trigger.
The weapon contained four loaded
cartridges, with one empty shell.
The barre! of the pistol was lightly
gripped by the left hand in front
of his breast, while from a bullet
hole just over his right ear his brains
were oozing out. The ball went
straight through the head, lodging
on the left side just under the skin,
and irora this deadly wound the
blood flowed freely on the pillow
and bed. The shot produced in
stant death, the position of the body
showing no tremor or subsequent
movement. Tiie body was covered
with the quilts in a natural pusition,
having on his usual underclothes.
THE NEWS SPREADS RAPIDLY.
The news swept over the city
in a very few minutes. Dr. W. G.
England, the family physician who
resides near by, was hastily sum.-
moned, as was Col. Wm. Janes, who
was Dr. Marshall’s attorney. The
County Coroner, Mr. Jesse O Crabb,
was also notified, and a number of
citizens went at once to the scene of
the tragedy.
WHAT WAS FOUND.
The room was found in order, the
Doctor having undressed himself
before retiring, anil on the ilres-er
was found a note in his hand writing,
uiiiuldrcssed and unsigned, as fol
lows: “1 cgn’t live this way; God
will see to me; my .conscience is
clear.”
Underneath this note were two
letters, opened,—one from his wife
to the Doctor and his reply thereto.
These letters related to their domes
tic affairs, which are known to have
been of the anpleasant kind, the
Doctor at one time having entered
suit for a divorce on the charge of
infidelity.
The couple have been separated
since the 20th of last November,
Mrs. Marshall having gone to New
port, Ark.
The unhappy domestic relations
of the two weighed heavily on the
Doctor’s mind, and it was known to
many ol his triends that he brooded
over his troubles. When depressed
and gloomy,, he often confided with
his Intimates and discussed quite
freely the causes of his troubles. It
is known, too, that he had contracted
the morphine and cocaine habits,and
of late, he had resorted to drink in a
quiet way as a method of drowning
his sorrows. He had repeatedly
declared to his friends the belief that
some time he would kill himself,
bnt no serious attention was paid to
such remarks uttered during his
periods of momentary depression.
Saturday night last,the Doctor was
unusually dejected, and repeatedly
retnarked that he could not live
under such a strain,and talked freely
about ending all his troubles. Sun
day and Mopday showed little re
covery from his depressed spirits,
and on Monday night in his room
with Mr. E. A. Lowry and Mr. Dick
Gammon, at different times, he
floutished his pistol in a reckless
manner, saying that he “had belter
he dead than alive.” These friends
remonstrated with him jokingly,
little dreaming that the troubled
man would carry out his threat of
sell destruction that night.
THE INQUEST.
Coroner Crahb summoned a jury
of twelve men composed of J. A.
Wilson, foreman, J. W. Barr, John
\V. Judkins, T. E. Burbank, J. II.
Dodds, J. A. Wright, T. H. Adams,
W. K. Holmes, M. C. Bobo, J ml
Crabb, G. D. Collins and D. J.
Lowry, who rendered a verdict in
accordance with the facts above
recited.
The family, of Dr. Marshall in
Rome was notified, and the morning
train on the C. R. S. road brought
Messrs. Steivatt and Manning Mar
shall, brothers of the dead man,
with Col. J. J. Childs, Rev. R.
Lord Cave and Undertaker Frank
L. West to Cedartown.
They escorted the remains to Rome
on the afternoon train, and were
followed yesterday by Rev. T. R.
McCarty, Dr. W. G. England, Col.
J. C. Walker and Mr. J. M. Pitts,
who were present at the luneral ami
interment.
Dr. Edward B. Marshall was a
young man twenty-eight years old,
and had enjoyed an excellent prac
tice as a dentist. He came to Cedar
town about three years ago. He was
-a son of Dr. and Mrs. E. B. Marshall,
of Rome, and a brother of Mr. Oscar
E. Marshall of this city.
About five years ago he was hap
pily married to a beautiful young
woman of Newport, Ark., and things
went well with the couple until the
cloud came between them. Their
separation followed, and ever since
their domestic troubles began the
man had not been himself. Brooding
over his wrecked home, his disord
ered brain careened through the
gloom of doubt and despair, «and
plunged into the mysteries of the
great beyond, crushed and broken.
The shocking tragedy has deeply
moved his friends, and the sytnpa
thies of all go out to those touched
by this sad and tragic end of a young
man in the vigor of life.
