DETERMINED TO DIE.
Desperate Attempts of a Young Wo-
man to Commit Suicide.

NEW. YORK. Sept. 7.-One Of the
most determined attempts at suicide ever
heard Of was made last night by Lena
Hertzog, II years Of age, wto resides with
her parents in Williamsburg. She was q
passenger on ferry boat from Brooklyn
on the 1910 o'clock trip last night to this
city. When the boat reached Grand Street
ferry on this side Miss Hertzog came
ashore, but Immediately returned and paid
her fare. and once more took a seat in the
cabin. The boat had just cleared the slip
when she walked rapidly out of the cabin
and jumped overheard. The boat was
stopped and life preservers, ladders and
ropes were called into requisition.
The electric lights made things as clear
a. day.
The first life preserver thrown fell close
to the girl but she pushed it away with an
angry gesture.
Tho noise and shouts attracted Ticket
TakerKelly, who has already saved thirteen
people from drowning, and he jumped into
the river, seized the girl by the waist and
lifted her bodily up SO that she might
breathe. The girl turned upon him and
struggled to FREQ herself from his grasp.
Kelly held on, however, and made for the
slip. A desperate struggle followed. Tho
half drowned girl seemed to gain strength
and fought like a tigrcss.
When near the slip ropes were thrown
and Kelly caught one and wound it around
the body of his charge, but II was quickly
thrown Oh. This the girl repeated three
times, and then seizing her rcscuer by the
arm savaRcly bit him.
Kelly was becoming exhausted and saw
that II the girls life was to be saved vio-
lencc wovld have to be used SO he was
compelled to beat her INTO submission.
The blows had the desired effect for q
time, but when an attempt was made to
lift her up on the ladder she broke out
afresh, but was finally landed wet, limp
and exhausted. This water baltic lasted
fully fifteen minutes.
When stimulants were offered the girl
later on she threw the glass from her and
smashed II. Finally the reckless creature
was placed under arrest and afterwards
sent TO the hospital in an ambulance, where
to-day she was doing nicely. Her parents
say that the whole adventure arose from .
love affair.
