The young man had died instantly as the result of a self-inflicted shotgun wound in his chest, reported Coroner S.H. Luken, who was called to the scene immediately. The body was discovered by Tony Hames, another Hoffman employee, and Mrs. Merritt. She had talked to him over the telephone about 6:30 a.m. when she awakened to find he had already left their apartment over Skaggs store. She called the electric shop and he answered and said that he had come down to work early, she said. The two had been married since Dec. 2. [1951] She became alarmed and called Mr. Hames, who came down immediately to open the shop. The shotgun used was one of the number of hunting guns left at the shop by other employees.
