2. MYSTERIOUS END OF A CAPITALIST
The Body of H. Cranston Potter Found on the Ocean Beach.
LAST SEEN ON FRIDAY.
Friends and Acquaintances Scout the Idea That He Took His Own Life.
HAD NO CAUSE FOR SUICIDE.
He Commanded Ample Funds and His Domestic Relations Were Happy.
H. Cranston Potter, a capitalist of Tacoma, Wash., and the son of Howard Brown Potter, one of the best known banking men in this country and abroad, met with his death either in the waters of the bay of San Francisco or the Pacific Ocean sometime between Saturday and Sunday morning. Whether his death was due to accident or was suicidal is a mystery, though his friends scout all idea of self - destruction. All that is actually known is that he had been dissipating heavily just previous' to the time he was last seen. The supposition of the authorities is that he either committed suicide while in a despondent mood after the effects of his debauch had worn off, or he fell into the" water while intoxicated and was drowned. The body of a young man was found Sunday afternoon among the sand dunes, a short distance south of the Cliff House, by R. Williams, who was strolling on the beach. The body was well dressed, its general appearance bespeaking wealth and respectability. The Coroner was notified and the remains were removed to the Morgue, but after a thorough search of his clothing nothing was found, with the exception of a silver matchbox, on which were inscribed the initials . "H. C. P.," which would be of any service in establishing his identity. Yesterday Thomas Watson, a grain broker of this City, who was a friend of the deceased, knowing that Potter had not been seen by his friends for several days, called at the Morgue, fearing ; that something serious had befallen the missing man. His fears proved to be well founded, as he immediately recognized the features of the dead - man as those of his missing friend. Watson, then informed the Coroner, of the man's identity and made arrangements for the removal of the remains to an undertaking establishment, where it is being embalmed preparatory to being shipped to Tacoma. An autopsy was held on the body by. Dr. J. S. Barrett prior to its removal to the undertaking parlors, and it was found that the cause of death was "asphyxiation by submersion." which is the L medical term for drowning. The Coroner took charge of the effects left at the Occidental Hotel by Mr. Potter, which consist of a few expensive suits of clothes and a number of bicycle suits. They will be shipped to Tacoma as soon as the inquest is disposed of. …[large 3 column story]… (San Francisco Call, Feb. 11, 1896, p. 11)3. HICKS' STATEMENT
What He Knows About the Death of Cranston Potter.
Tacoma, Wash., February 12.-Dr. A. G. Hicks, who was with Howard Cranston Potter on the trip to San Francisco, which ended fatally for Potter, arrived in Tacoma this evening. It was he who dined with Potter at the Cliff House last Friday night. “We finished dinner about 7:30 said he. ‘”Potter was not intoxicated, neither was I. We had a quart of champagne together at dinner. He was slightly obstinate, and when I suggested that we go back to the city and attend a theater, he demurred. Then I wanted t0 go back on a cable car, but he insisted on taking the steam cars, to board which would necessitate going downhill and over a place where grading was being done. He started downhill for the steam cars, while I hurried and caught a cable car leaving Sutro Heights at 7:45. I believe that Potter, in the darkness, got lost on the road and fell over the cliff. A sober man might meet a similar mishap." (San Jose Mercury News, Feb. 13, 1896, p. 8)

2. Herbert Stanton Griggs is the son of Chauncey Wright Griggs and Martha Ann (Gallup) Griggs. Chauncey Wright Griggs was a manufacturer and capitalist who lived in St. Paul, Minnesota, and in Tacoma, Washington. The elder Griggs was born on December 31, 1832, in Tolland, Connecticut; attended Monson Academy in Connecticut and business college in Detroit, Michigan; and is still living. His parents were Chauncey Griggs of Tolland and Hearty Dimock of Coventry, Connecticut; and his ancestors came over from England in 1639 and settled in Roxbury, Massachusetts. Griggs' mother was born and brought up in Ledyard, Connecticut. Her parents were Christopher Milton Gallup and Anna Stanton Billings of Ledyard; and her ancestors came over from Dorsetshire, England, in 1630 to settle at Boston and at Monumental Island, Massachusetts. The Rev. Leverett G. Griggs of Bristol, Connecticut, a great-uncle of our classmate, was a graduate of Yale in the class of 1829, as were several cousins and uncles of the Gallup, Williams, and Dimock families. Henry F. Dimock, of Yale 1863, now of New York, is a cousin of Griggs' father. Both his parents are living with him in Tacoma, Washington.
Griggs was born on February 27, 1861, in St. Paul, Minnesota. The following year he went with his parents to Chaska, where he was in the Moravian School for a brief time. In 1866 he moved back to St. Paul, and there attended grammar school and high school, with private instruction in the classics, until he was ready to enter Yale with us in September, 1878. His brother, C. M. Griggs, was his roommate during the first three years of the course, and as a senior he roomed with Hine of '85. The hare-and-hounds chase was one of his athletic recreations. He was light-weight wrestler one year in the gym-class competitions, competed in the class running races, and played on the Law School football and baseball teams in 1883-84. He was a member of Delta Kappa and Psi Upsilon. After commencement he returned for a two years' course in the Yale Law School, being graduated in 1884. He read law for six months in the office of Cushman K. Davis (deceased), former governor of and later United States Senator from the State of Minnesota, and was assistant city attorney in St. Paul during 1885. Having contracted very serious malarial and stomach troubles, he was obliged to give up practice for about three years, the last year of which enforced vacation was spent in foreign travel. In 1888 he located in Tacoma, Washington, where he has practised since that date. For the last three years he has acted locally for the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway in the matter of buying land, examining titles, securing franchises, and trying condemnation suits; and he has also made something of a specialty of corporation law, being attorney for a large number of manufacturing, mercantile, and banking corporations. Since 1888 he has been trustee and attorney of the St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Company, which is in the lumber-manufacturing and coal-mining business. An address before the State Bar Association of Washington, entitled "Admiralty Law," and one before the State Bankers' Association on "Negotiable Instruments" were published in the respective proceedings of those bodies. He has also been a contributor to local papers on his notes of travel, etc. He is a member of the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce, the Tacoma Country Club, the Union and University clubs of Tacoma, the Historical Society of the State of Washington, the Pacific Coast Branch of the American Historical Association, the Sons of the American Revolution, the Loyal Legion, the Washington State Bar Association, and other local organizations.
