Stoddard Man Suicides In Hospital

Emil Plumfelt (sic Brunfeldt), a patient in a local hospital in this
city committed suicide at 11 o'clock last night by hanging himself
from a hook in the closet door of his room. The dead man's body was
discovered a few minutes after the rash act was committed. The
night nurse had gone to his room to administer a hypodermic to
relieve the pain which the man had been suffering from, and made the
shocking discovery.

Plumfelt (sic Brunfeldt) was a German about 35 years of age, and had
come to the hospital several days ago for treatment for a bad attack
of gall stones.

He had been working in the mines at Stoddard for some time, and is
known to have a brother living at Miami.

Coroner McLane summoned a jury and reviewed the remains at a late
hour last night. A verdict of suicide was returned. The body was
taken to the Ruffner undertaking parlors.

Transcriber's note: Mr. Brunfeldt is buried in an unmarked grave at
the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona.
