The Atlanta Semi-Weekly Journal November 3, 1914
Cordele, Ga., Oct. 31. -- Bivins Calhoun, a Dooly county farmer, was arrested 
Friday, in connection with the death at his home last Sunday night of E. G. 
Arnold, a young white man employed on Calhoun's farm, who was found dead in his 
room with a pistol bullet through the head.

The coroner's jury reported the death as suicide but two days following 
Arnold's death, Calhoun, it is said, presented for payment an insurance policy 
on Arnold's life for $1,000, which had been assigned to him by Arnold.  
Arnold's relatives had the body exhumed and an autopsy performed with the 
result that Calhoun was arrested.
