however, and seized the bottle before she mad
more than tasted it. The girl began TO cry ami
begged TO be let go, saying she had too much
trouble for one woman to bear and thought the
quickest way out of it the best way The

attempt on her life if let go. SO he called the
patrol wagon and sent her to Central station.

ing and did not intend to suicide. At Central
