Virginian Pilot October 26, 1905

LEFT HOSPITAL AND DIED IN CITY JAIL

Louis Fairfield, Unknown Man, Would Not Stay At St. Vincent's

Louis Fairfield, a white man about whom little is known in Norfolk, and who 
was taken from a lodging house over Malbon's grocery store, corner of 
Charlotte and Church streets, died yesterday morning at 3:30 at the jail 
hopsital.
The investigation of Coroner Kight and the inquisition that followed during 
the day showed that death was due to natural causes and that Fairfield was a 
sufferer from chronic malaria.  The verdict of the jury was to the effect 
that he came to his death from natural causes.  The body is being held at 
the morgue awaiting a claimant.
When seen by a Virginian-Pilot reporter Coroner Kight said his investigation 
showed that several days ago Fairfield applied to the free dispensary for 
treatment and was sent to St. Vincent's hospital for medical attention, such 
as was deemed needed.
Fairfield would not remain at the institution, leaving in a few hours of his 
own accord, and evidently going to the lodging house where he was later 
found.  His leave-taking against the rules of the hospital precluded his 
return to the institution and he was sent to the jail hospital Monday night, 
where he died.
