A POLITICIANS SI(0ND AT
TEMPT AT SUICIDE,
John Clark, of Lockhart, the Sub
ject-The Drug Taken While In
toxicated-His Books Being In
spected-A Farewell Note.

John Clark, aged - years, the
county clerk of Caldwell county,
was found in his room, at the st.
Leonard hotel, by a chamber maid
about 6:45 o'clock last evening. in
an unconscious state of mind, and
fast dying, the cause being NOR
phine, which he had taken with
suicidal attempt. He was visited
as quickly as possible by DR.. Fitz-
simOns, and after temporary relief
had been administered, the expir-
ing man was conveyed to the
Santa Rosa hospital, in the patrol
wagon.
AS soon as Clark was discovered,
Captain Hughes rushed to the
hotel, arriving before the physician
and found Clark lying on the floor.
with his shirt and pants on. Near
him were found a wiskey bottle
partly filled and large morphine
bottle, the contents of which were
about gone. He had evidently
taken between thirty and forty
grains, and had taken it in
whiskey.
AS soon as he. was placed on
cot at the hospital, battery was
applied to his breast and after
lapse of 80 minutes Clark was
awakened and then gave his name,
and later talked freely, but wOald
not assign his reason for his daring
attempt.
BY earnest endeaVOrs on the part
of the physicians and sisters at the
hospital, life was preserved and
Clark is on the rapid road to re-
cOvery.
HIS FIRST ATTEMPT.
Just before the November cleo
ton last fall Clark was found in a
vacant house, lying in a pool of
blood. He had taken morphine,
and thinking that would not aid
death in approaching, he cut him
self and beat his head terribly.
PHYSICIANS were summoned and he
was saved.
HIS POLITICAL CAREER.
John Clark. after being one of
the county commissioners of Cald-
well county for more than eight
yeare, was in the November cleo
ton of 1890 elected to the office of
county clerk on the Democratic
ticket. Just before the election of
1892, he Hoped and ran on the
POpulist ticket for the same office,
and was reelected. He is a highly
esteemed citizen of LOckhart, and
has wife and several children.
THE FAREWELL NOTE.
When Capt. Hughes found
Clark lying unconscious, his first
thought was to look for a farewell
message, as is generally written
by those desiring to suicide. On a
piece of wrapping paper was found
note, portion Of which reads as
follows:
"All of my friends whom / sup
posed were true, have proven
false"
Col. Lee Beatty, the county asses
sor of Caldwell county, residing at
Luling, and Capt. Vim. Stegner
city marshal Of ,Luling, were in
the city yesterday, and visited the
hospital as soon as they were in.

THE BORDEN TRIAL.
EVIDENCE VESTED
DAY IN EHE FAMOUS CASE.
'iorplo curiosity Brings Many Women
10 court to Hear the Trial of Lizzie
Borden for Her Life.

BY Southern Associated Press.
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June At
the opening of the third day of the
Borden murder trial this mornipo
the morbid curiosity of the female
portion of the community was ca
tered to, and nearly one-half of the
spectators were women. Their necks
wee craned one way as Miss Bor.
oen eA'oisa the room, looking as
unconcerned and fresh as az.
could under such trying circum
stances. After she took her seat
MIR. Jennings had five minutes con.
versation with her, and she an
peared very much interested and
an mated, smile breaking out occa-
slonally as the talk proceeded.
klennan, the civil engineer, who
was on yesterday, was recalled for
the first witness.
When the witness was making
measurements of the lower floor of
the Borden house his attention was
called to the closet in the front hall.
lie was asked if his attention was
called to the fact that one could &c
IN there and be hidden with the
door completely shut. He de-
scrlbed it by saying a man went in
and be shut the door on him. There
was no difficulty in closing the door.
Ihe whole man was in there, the
door was left ajar, and the man in
the closet could net be seen by the
witness. The witness was eight or
ten feet from the closet door at the
time, and about the same distance
from the front of the house. When
witness was near the parlor door his
attention was called to the man, but
before he had time to verify whether
he could see him Or not he moved
to the door of the closet, and then
he did see him. The witness had
made experiments as to what could
be seen of objects on the floor of
the guest room from the stairs. His
assistant had lain down on the
floor between the bureau and bed:
then he (witness) went down stairs
and came up in the ordinary way.
Witness: "I saw the man stretched
on the floor from the stairs, and the
point from which I first saw him
was the centre Of one of the stairs
which brought my eye just on a
level with the floor. A short dis
tance above I could not see him.
The surveyors and photograph
er's evidence being concluded, John
'. Moore took the stand.
At first the prisoner watched him
carefully with apparent anxiety,
then looked On with the same in
difference as before.
At 1870, on motion of the de-
fence, all witnesses except the re-
porters, Manning, Stevens and
Caldwell, Messrs. Buck, Jubb and
Holmes, and those summoned for
expert evidence, were ordered ex-
cluded from the room.
