DETERMINED TO DIE.
Bloomfield Man Kills Himself With :
Shotgun.


Bloomfield, May 16.-(Special.) y
Because his wife attempted to prevent
him from going to public sale in the
country this morning, Willis Kennedy
placed the muzzle of shot gun in his
mouth and blew the whole top if his
head off. Kennedy was under the in
nuence of liquor and had threatened
to take his own life previously. The
self murderer formed the resolution tc
take his own life within few moments
from the commission of the deed. His
wife knew of it and attempted to pre-
vent 1T as did an employee of nearby
livery barn whom she called to her aid
Told Wife of Resolution.
This morning at o'clock Kennedy
prepared to go in to the county toe
public sale where he intended to serve
lunch and coffee to those who attend
ed. He was intoxicated and his wife
who knew of his condition remonstrat
ed with him. To her opportunities
Kennedy replied: eve will settle this
thing right now" and going into the
house procured a shot gun. He went
out on the back porch and as he did
so Mrs. Kennedy went out the front
door and called for help. In response
to her cries Bailey Herod, an employe
OF livery stable near at hand came
over and endeavored to take the CUR
away from Kennedy. The latter turn
ed the gun on Herod and threatened tc
shoot him if he interfered. Kennedy
then sat down on the edge of the
porch, placed the muzzle of the weapon
in his mouth and pulled the trigger
The explosion blew his head into an
unrecognizable mass and threw blood
and brains all over the rear of the
house, making an exceedingly grue
some sight.
The corpse was taken into the house
and coroner's jury empaneled in g
short time. A verdice was rendered
that Kennedy came to his death from
shot gun wound fired by his OWE
hand.
Mr.. Kennedy was 60 years of age
He leaves wife and three children
two girls and one boy. Lille, the ED
est, is IA years old. Bethene is II
years of age and Horace is 8.
The present Mrs. Kennedy is Ken
nedy's second wife. She was Mrs
Hinkle and was married to Kennedy
sixteen years ago. At that time he
was addictd to the use of intoxicants
but promised to reform and join the
Methodist church. He backslid how
ever, and for years has been habitual
ly addicted to the usesof intoxicants.
The tragedy has shocked the entire
community. The manner of Kennedy
death was peculiarly horrible. The
spot where he took his life presented
an awful scene and attracted large
crowd of people.
