Yesterday forenoon patient was de-
ivered at the County Hospital from Bull
Ionville, who was suffering from an in
| jury in the head caused by his attempt
| Ing to kill himself in the machinery Of
one of the quartz mills at that place,
| early on the morning of the same day.
He had been frequently in the institution
IIefore, every time from delirium caused
by excessive drinking. The steward of the
Institution supposed, of course, that
| such was the case this admission. The
nan said his head was hurt and panied
him before leaving Bullionville, but that
the ride had improved him so much that
F be had almost ceased to feel any pain.
He talked very rational. The particu-
lars of the attempted suicide in Bullion
vile we failed to get. He took hearty
dinner at the Hospital. After dinner he
remarked that he thought u walk in the
open air would do him good, and, bor-
rowing hat of one of the patients--his
own having been lost-he came down
into the city. The next seen of him
his body was found weltering in gore,
back of the Eureka clearinghouse, on
the north side OF Lacour street, by his
side lying the crimsoned instrument of
his death, a sharp butchers knife with
l4-inch blade. At first the cut was not
seen, being covered by his heavy, long
beard, which reached far down on his
che t.. But as soon rs the body was
lifted its CHASTITY character was discover
ed, the head falling back over his
shoulders, with the wind-pipe and all the
front muscles of the neck severed. He
had evidently deliberately lifted his full,
flowing beard with one hand, and drawn
the knife across his neck with all his
strength with the other. Death must
have been almost instantaneous. He
was Familiarity known as Hutch" his
name being A. J. Hutchinson. He was
about 40 years of age, and had been in
this vicinity for two or three years. He
claimed relationship with Chas. Croker
the California railroad millionaire. HI
