District Employe Takes Laudanum and
Turns on tho Gas, but Will Recover.
young man named J. W. Stephens, who
holds position under the District government,
attempted to end his life yesterday, but his eff
forts in that direction proved futile and it is
now thought that his recovery is certain. The
young man came here from Georgia and was
given position in the sewer department OF the
District government. He is graduate Of the
State University of Georgia In that state he
held good position, but it is said he lost it
through drink. Eight months ago he came
here with his wife and two children and dur
ing his residence here he has not only refrained
from drinking, but has used his influence to
prevent the use Of intoxicants by Others
Several days ago he broke his good reso-
lutions and taste of liquor was more
than he could stand. One drink
was followed by another until he felt that he
could not recover from the downward path
and he concluded that the only thing left for
him to do was to seek rest in the grave. This
he attempted to do as already stated, and to
that end he used a large quantity of laudanum
and inhaled considerable illuminating gas.
Though he lived at No. 63I I'd street northeast
he selected q room in the Syracuse House as
the place in which to die, but one of the board
ers made the discovery too soon for him. 1t
was about O'Clock in the afternoon that the
smell of gas attracted attention to the ROOM
and there the young man was found fast near
ing his end. An hours work by DIR. Carlisle
however, restored the unfortunate young man
and put him on the road to recovery.
Still he was not satisfied and repeated his
threats that he would kill himself as soon as an
opportunity was presented.
He was removed from the hotel to the sixth
precinct station and placed in a witness room.
SO that he could be watched and prevented
from harming himself. He fell asleep and
when left for time he arose and turned on
the gas and would have ended his life this
time had not Statlonkeeper Garner gone to the
room and found him. This morning he was
sent to Providence Hospital.
Before taking the poison he wrote a letter to
Mr.. l. c. Muncaster, in which he said that he
was ashamed to have to make a confession Of
his having fallen and that death was preferable
to life under such circumstances. He further
stated that he believed he was unable to cease
drinking and he could not reconsider his de-
Termination. He asked that his uncle. Capt. J.
G. Stephens, Albany, Ga, and his wife, who is
in Baltimore, be notified.
This morning he was in a very nervous state,
but the doctors think he will recover in two or
three days.
