Hutto, 57, was found at his home 2623 Union street, Saturday night, with a bullet through his heart, and officials who investigated the tragedy said there was every indication that the man had taken his own life. While he left no notes, it was stated, he had recently intimated to friends, officers were told, that he contemplated taking his life. Mr. Hutto had gone into the bathroom, it was stated, and when the report of a revolver was heard members went into the room, and found him dead, a pistol lying nearby. The bullet entered the chest and penetrated the heart. Coroner J.D. Baldwin has not held an inquest, and while it is not known what his investigation has revealed, all officers who have been investigating state there appears but little doubt that the man ended his life. Mr. Hutto was born in Baxley, but he had made his home in Brunswick for 24 years. For a time he was employed by the J.A. Jones Construction Co., but recently was engaged in carpenter work. Ill health, it was stated, caused him to retire about a year ago. Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Angie Hutto, three sons, Walton D. and Fred L. Hutto of Brunswick, and Homer Hutto, U.S. Army, stationed in Texas; one daughter, Mrs. Annie Mae Wilson, Brunswick; two brothers, W.I. and Joe Hutto of Baxley, and two sisters, Mrs. Minnie Davis and Mrs. Aliff Williams, of Florida. Funeral services will be held at the home at 8 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, conducted by the Rev. C.H. Moss, and burial will be in Palmetto cemetery. The following will serve as pall bearers: Raymond Crews, Ellis Knight, Artis Knight, F.A. Brewer, Grady Sweat and J.M. Wren. Arrangements are in charge of Mortician Edo Miller.
