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.

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.
