HoRRIBLE-Phil Hickey, at Newark, found about
seven dollars, and Immediately went on spree,
working himself up to an incipient stage of mania.
apotu Friday night he slept in barn belonging
to Mr.. Lewis, and in the morning went into a
house and asked for knife. which was given 10
him. Hickey returned to the barn, and insertipy
the knife in his mouth, ripped open one cheek az
far back toward the ear as possible, and then,
turning the edge, served the other cheek in the
same way, but did not succeed in cutting quite So
long cash as on the first attempt. After enlarg-
ing his mouth to bis entire satisfaction, the
wretched man commenced hacking at his throat
He managed to remove sufficient OF the flesh to lay
bare the windpipe, arteries, &C, but the dulness
OF the knife prevented the accomplishment of his
suicidal purpose, ifhe can be supposed to have had
any purpose at all. Even the horrible condition
to which the poor fellow had reduced himself, did
not prevent him from craving for liquor and he
drank glass of whiskey with easerness before
his wounds had been attended to.
