ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
Young Man Under Indictment for Mur-

Post at Nashville.
The Execution of Demo Casat at Little
Rock-A Desperate Chinaman
Prepared TO Die.

Special TO the Appeal
NASHVILLE, August 17.-John w. Thomas,
OF the Thirteenth District, who is under iu-
dictment on the charge Of killing Frank
Scbisler, grocery merchant, some time last
yesr, made an almost successful attempt at
suicide this morning about O'Clock. At the
hour indicated Bob Edmonds and anothtr
young man were walking along Jefferson
street, and on nearing the corner of Bellville
street they discovered what was at fret cup
p sed to be the lifeiess body of a man hang
log from lamp post on that corner. On
close examination, they recognized the body
to be that Of john w. Thomap. Edmonds
cut the rope, letting the body to the sidewalk,
when signs of life returned. He was then
taken to his m ,ther's home on Jefferson
street, where a physician attended him.
Thomas remained in a comatose condition
all night, and up to this hour had not re-
covered sufficiently to speak, but was resting
quietly, and some hopes of his recovery are
now entertained. Mrs. Thomas said her son
came home this morning al l o'clock in a state
OF intoxication, but left the house in a few
mi1utss, taking part OF the clothes. line
with him. She did not think anything CT
his takiog the c!othes-line, nor say anything
to him nor anyone else about 1t until he was
brought home an hour afterward almcs !.
dead. Thomas was released from jail on
June I'd, ON bond, since which time he has
been drinking very iresly. Some OF his sc-
quaintsnces say since the killing OF Schisler
he has appeared moroIe and low spirited,
and this is attributed a. the cau.e of the at
tempt at self-destruction. Thomas belonged
to numbering family, his father and a
brother each having killed a man without
Just provocation. The father killed his N n
because the latter declin.d "a 'uI a load OF
wood at nigh, while the con killed an en-
ginser in his room in the Maxwell House, in
Nashville, about ten years ago. Thomas is
the third man who has attempted e
here this week. There seems to ac-
countable mania for self-desuuc,ion.
