Dairy Worker Hangs Himself
While his two-month-old baby lay asleep nearby, James H. McGlamery, 21, a dairy worker, yesterday leaped off a cedar chest and hanged himself from a rafter at 2509 Erie Street South.
His body was discovered about noon by his wife, who had been visiting in the neighborhood with their other child, aged two.
McGlamery, who had been here about three weeks, apparently came directly from the Lakeview Dairy farm about two blocks distant, at 10 o'clock, wrote a note stating his intention to end his life, and adjusted a length of sash cord around his neck. Judge Joe E. Carpenter, coroner, pronouncing his death plainly from suicide, said the somewhat incoherent note stated "it's the only way out" but gave no clue to his specific reasons.
The widow and associates at the dairy, it was learned by Captain R. J. Black and Detective Capt. John S. Siers, had found his actions peculiar the last few days and said he was plainly despondent.
McGlamery had been contacted in Montezuma, Ga., where he was a dairy hand, and brought here to work when he said he wanted a change. The investigators found evidence he had been in the Army and discharged. In his effects was found an Oglethorpe, Ga., draft card, showing him classified 4-F.
