Virginian-Pilot, Saturday, August 24, 1901

On Wednesday, August the 14th, E.M. Hurst was cut with a knife in a duel at the 
Norfolk and Wester pier on the tugboat Luckenbach.

Hurst was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital and received attendance from City 
Physician J.R. Speight, who at the time thought the man would recover. Acute 
peritonitis set in, however, and Dr. Speight considered the man's condition so 
serious that he send for the police, who took his anti-mortem statement on 
Sunday last.

Hurst continued to sink and on the 20th instant died and was buried at the 
expense of the city in Calvary cemetery.
