Ignition switch jerry rigged and will not turn off

I have a battery that keeps on dieing and will not stay charged that is brand new. To turn over the engine, takes almost every bit of the 6V battery has. Got stuck today, due to lack of gas and a dead battery! Tried to restart and there was not enough juice to turn over the engine. So had to recharge the battery. After driving around the block, I was unable to re-start it. The ignition switch appears to be bypassed and will not turn off, so I must stall the car to make stop. There is a red wire from the positive battery cable to the coil, bypassing the ignition switch. The clock in the dash sounds like it is stuck, and dims the headlights everytime it pulses. Basically, Doc has some issues. It appears the previous owner did what he had to do in order for me to buy the car. I said it had to be running or no deal. Well it runs, just will not turn off! I do not want to wreck anything and I am not really familiar with this system. Any suggestions? HELP!
