ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.-Between seven and
eight o'clock last evening the sound of a
pistol shot aroused the inmates of the
clearinghouse No. 70 Annunciation street.
An investigation resulted in finding a man
named Henry Wisdom suffering from a
wound in his face, he having failed to take
his life by shooting himself with a revolver.
He had taken the weapon from boarder,
and deliberately tried to end his days. He
says no one can be blamed. After shooting
himself in the mouth he threw the pistol uns
der the bed. He was sent to the Charity
Hospital.
