C.D. DEWEESE ENDS OWN LIFE IN COUNTY JAIL
-BRUNSWICK CARPENTER, HELD FOR MENTAL HEARING, HANGS SELF
Charles Delmar "Windy" DeWeese, a Brunswick carpenter held in the county jail in Keytesville for a mental hearing, was found dead in the bathroom of the jail about 8:00 o'clock Monday evening. According to the coroner's statement, DeWeese had died by hanging himself from the bathroom door with wire and a belt.
He had been taken to the jail Friday on charges of threatening his family with violence and was to be given a mental hearing Wednesday. According to unofficial reports, Mr. DeWeese probably would have been taken to the state hospital in Fulton for a few weeks treatment and then brought home. A statement to that effect was read to him some time Saturday.
He was found dead by Rudolph Enderly, Keytesville chief of police and deputy sheriff, when the officer returned the other prisoners to the jail after an outing. In DeWeese's pocket was found a note instructing officers to notify his relatives and giving funeral directions. Others in the jail said DeWeese had not had a pencil for about two days and must have written the note soon after hearing the sheriff's order.
Funeral services were from the Powell Church near Indian Grove yesterday afternoon. Burial was in the Powell Cemetery.
DeWeese was born near Indian Grove, June 18, 1896, the son of Elbert and Margaret (Heaney) DeWeese. At the time of his death he was 44 years, 10 months and 24 days old. He was married to Miss Alberta Gross in Huntsville, Apr. 20, 1915.
Besides his wife, he is survived by five sons, R.K., John D., Harold E., Donald Roy, and Kenneth M. DeWeese; and a daughter, Miss Edith Cleo DeWeese of the home; and a daughter by a former marriage, Mrs. Doris Still of Kansas City; two brothers, Edward DeWeese of Brunswick, and George M. DeWeese of Maples, Missouri; and two sisters, Mrs. Eunice May DeRigne of Huntsville, and Mrs. Ada Belle Tilden of Clifton Hill. The children at home range from two to fourteen years of age.
