John Fitzgerald, a well known Jerome character was killed 
early Saturday morning.  While intoxicated he fell down a 
flight of steps leading from Main Street to the Brookshire 
basement.  The fall crushed the back of his skull and death 
was almost instantaneous.  A copper company check for $60 
was found on his person.  The deceased was a native of 
South Carolina.  The Great Register shows him to have 
been 45 years old.
