WEARY OF LIFE,
A Young Girl Attempts suicide in
Bridgeport Harbor.


Lizzie Ormond of Bridgeport, aged
seventeen years, attempted suicide by
jumping into the harbor Saturday after
noon. She became Respondent owing to
the fact that young man who had been
keeping company with her had transferred
his affections to another girl. She WAS
employed in Howes corset shop and was
at work in the afternoon as usual. She
seemed more than usually happy, SO much
so as cause comment among her compan-
ions. About o'clock she put on her hat
and wrap and started out for a walk. She
went directly to the dock and jumped
overheard into the icy waters. Two boys
who happened to see the act fished her
out, her heavy clothing preventing her
from sinking. She was taken to the
Emergency hospital, where the doctors
worked over her for an hour. She is i'm
proving rapidly and will soon be all right
again.
The would-be suicide has quite mania
for ending her life, yesterday being the
third time she has attempted to commit
suicide The first time she took an over
dose of poison, and the second time at
tempted to jump into the harbor, but was
prevented, her clothing catching on a nail.
