They seemed to have a habit of getting drunk and getting into fights. he had set his bed clothes on fire before at Kennett mo. and they just let him out and sent him home but this time they didnt reach him in time and he died before they could get him out of the cell.. I have two newspaper articles in reference to this. did you know there was a bell city mo, named for charley bell. if interested in more feel free to contact me at the above address. best of luck, mary bell la shure. La Shure is my married name since i lost my husband charles (Joe) bell died. thank you for your interest. Mary
