MEYER ATTEMPTS SUICIDE AND CON-
FESSES.
Oscar Meyer, who was convicted of
the murder of Herman Krause at the
trial held in ST. Adams last month, at
tempted suicide at the st. Adams Jail
last Thursday night. About 10 O'Clock,
when Duputy Sheriff Chase went into
the Jail to lock the prisoners in their
cells for the night, Meyer, with pale
face and sickly look, staggered up to
him and, taking him by the hand, babe
him goodbye. On being asked what
he meant, he replied "YOu wont see
me in the morning" 1t was after
wards learned from Meyer that he had
taken some 90 morphine pills, of one
eighth of a grain each, and in his
anxiety to make the job complete he
had scraped mercury and tin from the
back of small looking glass in the
Jail, and taken a quantity of anguin-
tum that had been there to kill lice.
He took enough to kill IL dozen men,
and that is what saved him. He had
saved what morphine pills had been
given him at Windsor, and what few
had been given him at ST. Adams, with
IL view to making sure thing of it
when the right time came. Meyer
himself expected to die, and he con-
fessed before DR.. Fassett and the dep
uty to shooting Krause. He said that
he didn't kill him for his money; he
and Krause quarrelled while coming
across the ice; he got mad and shot
Krause, cut a hole in the ice, and put
the body into the water He said that
a long time ago he had been badly
hurt on the head and was liable to get
very excited sometimes and not know
what he was dOing-as in the case of
his quarrel with Krause. Meyer was
taken to Windsor Friday forenoon.
He objected strongly and declared that
he would put himself under car
wheel before he got there. His SEN
tence will not be pronounced until the
supreme court meets and acts on the
exceptions. By Vermont law, one BIZ
ennial session of the Legislature must
intervene between the sentence and
execution.
