George Morse Lawton.
La* Vegas, New Mexico. Optic.
A Sit*l cast? of suicide claims the chronicler???s
attention to-day. The victim, and there is al
ways a victim in suicides, was a young south
enter named George Morse J-awton, scarcely
twenty years of age, prepossessing in appear
ance, gentlemanly in manner and polished in
conversation???sad indeed is his untimely end.
Young Lawton came to Lies Vegas on Sun
day, the 25th instant, and went to the Stunner
house, registering his right name and enter
ing his place of residence as Griffin, Georgia.
When lie appeared at the hotel he was dressed
in the regulation striped pantaloons of
a millitary school, but wore a citizen's
dress in other particulars. His trunk
followed on a train the next day ami
when it had been sent up to his room
he changed his dress and appeared in n civil
ian's suit throughout. On Monday lie became
acquainted with the guests of the house and
was soon looked upon us a hale fellow well
met???one of those jolly, open hearted south
ern boys who liorrotv little of the cares of the
world anil who have no second thought of the
morrow???that is what liis general deportment
indicated. He joined the circles of chit chat
and talked much of southern life, his history
ami enthused upon the exhilirating effect of
the high altitude and balmy air of Las Vegas
on his bodily temperament, ft agreed with
hint greatly, he said, and lie fell like a new
man. lie played billiards and became gen
erally liked by the young men at Judge Sum
ner's hospitable board. *
It: conversation with a clerk yesterday
morning, and in fact with several guests oft he
hotel, Lawton exhibited great interest in
pocket firearms and asked particularly which
were the most deadly weapons. The boys
pulled out their guns, varied as their collec
tion necessarily was, and explained to the
young stranger the leading qualities of the
different makes. One man had a Colt's 44,
ntiother had a double action Colt's IW, some
one else showed a single action 32???*???n tender
foot's gun,??? as they are called by the barna
cles. The clerk produced a British bull dog
of 41 calibre. Lawton seemed so favorably
impressed with that pistol, and in the after
noon lie went down town and bought a sec
ond hand one for $7.
Last night young Lawton and Fred Haag,
one of the hoarders at the judge's,sallied down
town and went to the Occidental, where they
played several games of billiards with varying
success to Lawton. He was a fair shot with a
billiard cue, and held an even game with
Iliutg, playing him without odds. After the
games the players returned to the Sumner
and sat for awhile in the office, chatting with
the boys that were there. They talked of the
war, of Lincoln's assassination and Garfield???s
death. Haag and Lawton???s rooms adjoined,
and they went up about 10 o???clock, each re
tiring to liis respective room.
Haag went to bed but did not fall asleep.
He beard Lawton in the next room busily
writing or rending, he could not tell wliicli.
After an hour???s occupation in this way Law-
ton went down stairs and out into the??? night,
remaining no longer than ten minutes, when
he entered the house and went upstairs again.
In his room Hang heard hint tako
off??? his coat and shoes. After mov
ing around the room a few minutes
Haag was startled liy a pistol shot and jumped
out of bed. When behind the night clerk
rushed into Lawton???s room they found him
lying on the bed in an unconscious condition.
A British hull dog lay near by and blood from
young Lawton's bead told the story of bis sad
fate???lie had killed himself. The bullet, it was
found, had entered the skull at a point nearly
two inches above the right ear, ranging down-
~ ward, remaining in the head. The poor fel
low wits suffering from liis wound but was un
able to speak a word. A doctor was hastily
summoned, hut the services of the physieiaii
were of no avail, and in an hour the spirit of
the young cadet was reclaimed by its Maker.
Judge Steele was aroused and aiding in the
capacity of coroner, he called a jury, ex
amined the dead body and at 2 o???clock this
morning returned the following coroner???s ver-
diet:
Before Justice Steele in predact No 29. San Mi
guel county. New Mexico: We, the undersigned,
justice of the peace and jury, do hereby certify Unit
we have this day held uu inquest over the dead
laxly of George M Union, and we find that lie
came to Ids death by a pistol shot tired by his own
hands. Given under our hands and seals this 28th
day of .'September, issi.
W. Steele, J. P??? and jury.
1 .awton???s body, according to his own re
quest, written just before liis death, was
clothed in hLs military uniform???1???ark blue
striped pantaloons, white jacket, polka dot
cravat, etc., and arc lying in the sample room
of the Sumner house, awaiting telegrams from
Georgia. It cannot be said at this writing just
what disposition will lie made of the remains,
but they will probably be buried in the Odd
Fellows??? cemetery, west side, as it seems to
have been I .a w ton's wish to be interred here.
Nothing will be done until to-morrow, at any
event. ,
As we have tit-fore stated, young Lawton
wrote considerable of his intentions and de
signs, before committing the rash act that cut
him off from a life that might have been one
of honor. Upon bis table was found an un
sealed envelope bearing the inscription,
"Read and send to Mrs. M. L. Lawton, Griffin.
Georgia." Inclosed were several sheets of
Ju>per, scrawled upon in a plain, but rather
irregular hand, the contents of which is here
with published. It will repay the reader to pi
over the notes carefully. \Ve publish them
verbatim:
