Biography

Caleb Meyer is a hillbilly who lives all alone in the "hollarin' pines", where he passes the time by making whiskey. One evening, while Nellie Kane's husband is away on business, Caleb goes round to her house and calls for her. When she comes out, he asks where her husband is, and she confirms that he's away.

Upon hearing this, Caleb throws down his whiskey before grabbing her by the hair, throwing her down on the bed and lying on top of her. During the assault, Nellie feels around for a weapon, and finds Caleb's now-shattered whiskey bottle, which she uses to bloodily slash his throat, killing him.
