Jethro Gwynn (d.1943) was the mayor of Snyder, Texas. After United States forces under General Abner Dowling overran the town, Dowling, his adjutant Major Angelo Toricelli, and Dowling's driver, Clancy, took Gwynn on a tour of the burial trenches near Camp Determination. At first, Gwynn refused to acknowledge any knowledge of the purpose of Camp Determination, but he eventually admitted that he did have some idea of their purpose. While disgusted by the corpses, he was distraught once he found out that the gold had been removed from the corpses' teeth. He hanged himself from the chandelier in his realty office that night.
