SUICIDE OF DR. TURNEY,
Who Choked His Wife to Death
Four Years Ago.
Birmingham, Ala., October 24
—Today, at Falkville, in a little
cottage without windows, the
dead body of Dr. William Turney
was found, who had been missing
for several days. The tale of sui
cide was plainly told by an empty
morphine bottle being found by
his side.
Dr. Turney was eighty-two
years of age an 1 had been mar
ried three times. His third wife
was a beautiful young woman
who attracted much attention,
and he became insanely jealous,
aud about four years ago he saw
her speak to a man upon the street.
When she returned home that
night, in a fit of rage, he seized
her and choked her to death. He
was arrested but pronounced in
sane and sent to the state insane
asylum, and kept there until a few
months ago.
When he returned home he
found that he was about to be
prosecuted for wife murder, and it
is supposed that this was the
cause of his suicide. He was at one
time, very prominent in church af<
fairs,

THE defendant’s STORY'.
The defendant, A. W. Bellew
was next put on the witness stand
He testified that he had been i Q ’
the pension business since 1865
directly after the war. He had
lived in Rome with his family f or
several years. He made the ac
quaintance of Lucy Burrell in
1890.
He was under the impression
that she came to his office. R e
found difficulties in the way, how
ever which were unforeseen’in the
claim of another party alleging
that she was the widow of the de
ceased soldier. This however was
eventually dismissed.
He explained the manner in
which the pension check had been
received and cashed at the Mer
chants’ National bank and the
proceeds placed to the credit of
Lucy Burrell. The check for $74
that was subsequently drawn in
his favor was to cover sums of
money advanced to the pensioner
and h«r children.

cross examination was rather caus

the evidence was concluded.

The SI,BOO paid to his son Hur

was a separate transaction. There
was no understanding with her as
