DAVE KETTLES FRANTIO.
He Attempt" to Kill Himmeir in the
Jail nt Calhoun.
Dave Kettles whois now in Calhoun
jail, under charge of assaulting the
wife of Will Morrow, some three or
four weeks ago, attempted to commit
suicide in his cell Christmas eve last
by hanging himself; and but for the
alarm given by the other prisoners,
which caused a number of men to
hasten to his rescue, would have suc
ceeded in the undertaking.
To prevent any of ihe prisoners
from discovering his actions* Kettles
hung a blanket over his cell door.
Tearing a strip of ticking from his bed,
he tied one end of it around his neck,
'i he other end was tied to a strip of
wood, which he had torn from a win
dow of the prison, then placing the
stick across bunk, which hangs
suspended in the cell, he flung himself
to the floor. The prisoners, hearing
his struggles and groans, and being
powerless, of course, to reach him,
immediately gave the alarm shout
ing, -Kellies is dying.” A numbea of
men ran to the jail, among them Jail
or Simpson. Hastily unlocking the
big iron door, they hurried to Kettle s
cell and found him unconscious and
strangling. The ticking was cut fiom
around his neck and he was freed but
none too quickly. In the condition he
was in when found, only a few’ more
seconds would have ended his life.
Two letters were found in his cell.
One of them was directed to his wife,
and the other to Dr. Harris, of Dalton.
The letter to his wife read as follows :
Calhoun, Ga., Dec. 24, ‘92.
Dear Wife—lt is sad to write you
- that I am tired of living. 1 have
made peace between me and my God.
for it seems that the whole world
has gone back on me, affil that 1 have
more troubles than I can stand. lam
as innocent as an angel in heaven of
the charge they have against me, and
my God knows it. My friends have
turned out to be my enimies. Let my
body be buried beside my little daugh
tcia and don t grieve after me, for 1
am going to be better off. May God
be with you and the little children. I
have no choice in them. W aCch after
them and send them to school, ami
make them pray to their God. As for
my business, you know all about it,
more so than * I do. From one who
loved you while on earth.
David F. Kettles.
In the letter to Dr. Harris, Kettles
complained that all the world was
against him, that man whom he
once ciaimed as a friend was his ene
my now ; and that he had nothing to
live for. The letter contained the re
onest that Dr. Harris wind up his
(Kettles’) business. Kettles is a citi
zen ot Murray county, and is said to
be worth considerable property, but
s'* a citizen he has never born a first
class reputation. He will be tried be
fore Judge Milner at the February
term ot Hie Gordon Superior Court,
should he not take his own life, which
be still threatens to do.—Calhoun
