. ATTEMPTED SUICIDES.
George Koentg Tries the Revolver
Route.
Some additional details Of the ATTEMPTED
suicide of George K5nig, mention Of which
was made in yesterdays TRIBUNE, have
come to light. Only one person at No, 20
Harrison street heard the report of the re-
volver. This was Mrs. Conley, who occupies
the front room On the second floor: She was
awake. preparing food for her babe. AS
soon as her attention was attracted
by the noise she awoke her hus-
band and informed him. He raised
the window, and, seeing Il policeman {Halo-
ran), told him some one had been shot and
asked him to arouse Mrs. Rice by ringing the
bell. This he did. Going up to the
top of the flight Of stairs, the officer
found K0nig lying on the floor nearly OPP
posit the door of the room he had formerly
occupied. Beside him was a revolver, and q
little blood was noticed on the carpet. He
was insensible,- appeared like one in sound
sleep, breathing heavily. Haloran went to
the Harrison Street Police Sta ton and got
wagon, and, returning to the house, K6nig
was placed in the vehicle and taken to the
County-Hospital. Before starting, however,
DR.. Hildebrand was called IN, and found.that
the. bullet had entered K0nig's head just
under the right ear. The Doctor.was unable,
owing to the character Of the wound, to say
what the result would be, although the
chances were against recovery.
That K6nig shot himself was proven be-
yond 4 doubt BY the following letter, IN
closed with another in an envelope, which
was found In one of his pockets:

Two questions naturally suggest themselves:
WHY did he 20 to No. % Harrison street to
kill himself? and, How did be get IN? K6-
mig or King had boarded with, Mrs Rice for
was finally told to get room elsewhere. He
left in February, and since then had tried

down and wrote vile letter, attacking her
character, copies Of which he sent To- the
newspapers, with the expectation, doubtless;
that they would aid him in & ms revengel%d5 and

doubly insure its getting into the hands OF
