As I have been told by Charles' descendant, Charlie's first wife's father allegedly made our man leave the area and told him never to be back.
Charles T. and Alice left Texas and settled in Ada, Ward 1, Oklahoma (1). Ada worked as a seamstress (2). Despite Mr. Magruder's alleged warning, Charles and family came back to Texas in 1918 as the last of their six children Elma Lorraine was born on 8 Nov. 1918 in Palacios, Matagorda, Texas. The reason of their return was most probably a family member's funeral.

Dr. Andrew Benjamin Angel was Charles' cousin once removed. Mrs. A. B. Angel mentioned in the news was Florence D Charlton who died on 29 August 1918. Besides the sad family circumstances, Charles might have assumed it was long enough after the divorce-related life turbulences, and he did not expect any more problems connected with that.
Sadly, Charles was imprisoned. How come? I have no idea. A family story remembered by our aunt Lula tells about a male relative who was accused of stealing a horse and put in prison. As a result of that, the man died by hanging. It seems that could be our Charlie who took his life in the same way (3). Did it happen in the Dallas prison? Regrettably, Aunt Lula is long time gone, so she cannot tell us more about the unfortunate man.

A message from Jill Magruder Gatwood:
" Just one correction; the Magruders did come from Scotland but were unrelated to the McGregors. We descend from the McGruthers and McGrouthers. We Magruders have battled about this for years and finally proved it with DNA. You dont have to credit me. The first Magruder to America was Alexander Magruder who was a POW from the Cromwell wars in Scotland. He came to Maryland in about 1650 as an indentured servant. Practically every Magruder in America is descended from him."
Thank you for the information, Jill.
