G.D. HAMILL
Dec 8, 1896
G.D. Hammill committed suicide Sunday night by taking morphine.
He stopped at the Gregory house and yesterday morning a newsboy
who had been in the habit of leaving a paper at Hammill's room
every morning knocked on the door as usual, but received no
response.
Mrs. Gregory was informed and she ascertained that the door was
locked from the inside. A stepladder was procured and Mr. Gregory
looked over the transom into the room. The occupant was lying
in the middle of the floor, fully dressed. The door was then
burst open.
Hammill's head was propped up with a pillow and around his head
and under his jaw was a cloth which he had evidently used to
suppress his groans when the drug should begin to take effect.
The bed had not been disturbed. From the general appearance
of the room, he must have made preparations for death
methodically.
During the night a young man who occupies an adjoining room ,
heard groans issuing from Hammill's apartments and knocking on
the wall several times asked Hammill if he was sick but received
no response. The knocking was repeated several times with the
same result. Towards morning the groans ceased. A bottle of
morphine was found in the room, used for a chronic intestinal
disorder.
The deceased was about 60 years of age and had lived in Arizona
for several years. For the past two years he has been stopping
at intervals at the Gregory house. He was a machinist by trade
and for five years was in charge of one of the largest machine
shops in China. He was a man of quiet disposition and was not
addicted to drink. No cause is assigned for the deed, as he
was not known to have serious trouble of any kind.
He left a letter for Mr. Gregory telling him to inquire of C.M.
Emerick of Pasadena, Cal. as to what disposition should be made
of his body. Mr. Emerick was wired and answered that he would
start for Phoenix immdiately.
Justice Morris impanneled a coroner's jury which returned a
verdict in accordance with the facts related.
