Morris Cargill

Morris Cargill CD (10 June 1914 – 8 April 2000), was a Jamaican politician, lawyer, businessman, planter, journalist and novelist.

In 1958, he was elected to the parliament of the Federation of the West Indies, as a candidate of the Jamaica Labour Party, and served as deputy leader of the opposition in that legislature for the next four years.

Cargill makes an appearance, in the surprising guise of a high court judge, at the end of Fleming's 1965 novel The Man with the Golden Gun.

During this period, Cargill lived in the United States and worked for the publisher Lyle Stuart, editing a study of the Third Reich in Germany called A Gallery of Nazis, and writing a memoir called Jamaica Farewell (an expanded version of which was reissued in 1995).

Around the same time, Clarke successfully shot and killed industrial chemist Julius Walenta.
