"The Death of Jack Hamilton" is a short story by Stephen King. It was originally published in the December 24/31, 2001 issue of ''The New Yorker'' magazine. In 2002, it was published in King's collection ''Everything's Eventual''. This true crime story is based on the death of a member of the John Dillinger's first gang.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title="The Death Of Jack Hamilton" )〕 ==Plot summary== The story is written in the first-person. Homer Van Meter, a member of John Dillinger's gang, tells of the slow, painful death of fellow gangmember Jack Hamilton. Van Meter begins by describing Dillinger's death outside the Biograph Theater at the hands of FBI agent Melvin Purvis' men (Purvis is referenced several times throughout the story as the characters' nemesis), as well as addressing the theory that it wasn't actually Dillinger who was killed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Everything's Eventual short story collection )〕 Van Meter debunks the theories, citing that the causes for arguments happened during his witnessing the death of Jack Hamilton. During his getaway from a shootout at the Little Bohemia Lodge in Wisconsin, Hamilton is shot by police, the bullet lodged in his lung, eventually creating a gruesome case of gangrene. Hamilton is refused treatment by Joseph Moran, and Van Meter and Dillinger take Hamilton to stay at the home of Volney Davis and his girlfriend "Rabbits", two members of Ma Barker's gang, as well as Ma's son Arthur. King's narrator spares no detail, as the man lapses into dementia before his agonizing, but merciful expiration.
