JOHN GODWIN

63½ Queen Street West, Toronto


A Toronto Jeweler Found Dead

Toronto, Ont., Aug. 4.—John Godwin, a one armed jeweler of this place, who has been for the past two years conducting a jewelry store at 63½ Queen St., W., was found dead in his bed on Friday last by a neighboring shop keeper, E. B. Guest. Godwin when found had been dead some time and rats with which his place abounded had eaten out his eyes and part of his left hand.

Mr. Godwin was generally known as " one armed George." He is respectably connected, but for years has been addicted to drink. He formerly conducted a jewelry store in Yonge St. His wife secured a bill of separation owing to his dissolute habits.

Since Godwin started business in Queen St. he has been on sprees the greater part of the time. Mr. Guest whose family reside above, has looked after him and endeavored in every way possible to reform him, but without success. Three weeks ago he received a legacy amounting to over $633.33 from an aunt in England. He deposited $500 of the money in the bank, but drew it out again in a day or two. Of this sum he expended $116 in clothing, etc., for his family, and after settling up his rent and some other accounts went on a spree of two days. Later he reported that he had been robbed of $350 by some companions. What remained speedily dissolved, and a few days ago he pawned by piecemeal his clothing and everything of value in the store. He was last seen alive on the evening of his death about 6 p.m. near his own store.

Coroner Aikins empanelled a jury and at the inquest Dr. Winnett, who made a postmortem examination of the remains, testified that Godwin's death was due to perforation of the stomach. This was caused by the inordinate quantities of pickles of which deceased had partaken.
