Tuesday, March 4, 1879 pg. 4 We learn that a party named Williams, confined in jail at Gainesville, on the charge of murdering his wife's stepfather, near Decatur, in October 1874, committed suicide some day last week by eating the heads off of matches. He would undoubtedly have been hung, as besides the murder of his wife's stepfather, he after breaking jail some months after his commitment, had a difficulty in Woods [sic] county, where he killed Volney Turner, a deputy sheriff.
