sented himself at Mr.. VIM. Kennedy's, and after.
wards at VIM. Woolsey's. At both places he
acted in a strange manner. His face and hands
were blood-stained, and a cash in his throat
gaped as he talked. Leaving Mr. Woolsey's he
walked through the rain and sleet to the village
and finding the hotel closed went to Mr. Maxim.
sons store, where he was taken in out of the
rain. Not being able to speak English he could
give no satisfactory account of himself and the
Sheriff was sent for. Deputy Carman brought
the man to Bel Air Jail where Dir. Munnlkhuy-
sen dressed his wounds. His windpipe was
severed, ne had cut both wrists on the in
side, barely escaping the arteries, and had also
made cash on the back of his left wrist. His
mind wandered and he told the Doctor that he
had been accused of stealing and was to be hang
ed. Being innocent, and not willing to die that
way he determined to kill himself On Monday
he was rational and told his story in connected
manner He said he was shoemaker and ma
tive of Saxony, where his wife and children live.
Eight years ago he came to this country. Lately
he worked in Bridgeport, Pa, hut on the 23d
of March went TO Baltimore In search of work.
He stayed with Mr.. Langood shoemaker, on
Baltimore street, near Poppleton. Not find
ing employment he went out on the Northern
Central Railroad, and after roaming around the

ly gone, he arrived at Churchvile. He was ex-
posed to the storm Thursday and Thursday
night. Friday morning, having become mis-
cradle and respondent, he attempted to end
his life The Sheriff wrote Mr.. Langood to as
certain where the mans friends are, but has
not heard from him. Renck will probably re-
cover. On Tuesday he was taken to the county
Almshouse.
