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.
