A Hualapai Indian murderer was hung outside Prescott in 1925. The now-forgotten case was extraordinary for its drama and absurdity. It was a frontier hanging in the age of the telephone and Model-T. The killing of cab driver A.M. Cavell by George Dixon Sujynamie aroused deep passions in Prescott. The white population hollered for the head of the 19-year-old Indian, while members of the Hualapai tribe reportedly held war councils and threatened reprisals if the government went through with the execution.
