PrOf. Garland not Dead.
NEW YORK. Sept. 81.
The announcement of the death of
Prof. Garland, who attempted wife
murder and suicide 1T New Bruins

who were first summoned after the
tragic occurrence, found him in a
condition which was mis-
taken for death. All their skill was
directed to saving Mrs. Garland's life,
and it was not until two other physi-
clans arrived that the astonishing dis
covery was made that Garland still
breathed. Pieces of his skull were re-
moved from the brain, and the wind
pipe sewed up, when he was able to
talk, and may possibly ecoyer.
