Widow and seven children left destitute in Honolulu tragedy
A. M. Hewitt, an English-born Honolulu resident for over 25 years, shot himself after a two week period of despondency over money troubles. His wife, Mrs. Hewitt, described the final moments and the couple’s seven children, including a month-old youngest, as neighbors were summoned. The coroner ruled death by self-inflicted gunshot, with the weapon fired three times and the first cartridge failing to explode. Funeral arrangements followed, and Holt noted Hewitt’s recent unemployment with Brewer & Co. prior to the tragedy.
