The Death of Jack Hamilton
Description Jack Hamilton is shot by the Police after previously escaping from th FBI in 1934. A month later, while Hamilton is lying injured, Homer Van Meter brings five horseflies into Hamilton's room in an attempt to entertain the dying man. He is soon joined by John Dillinger who walks in on his hands. Rather than being amusing, the stunt turns wrong and his gun falls to the floor, discharging and injuring him. All was in vain as Jack Hamilton dies soon after. Published 2002 - Everything's Eventual 2004, Dec 24/31 - The New Yorker |
