DESPERATE EFFORT TO DIE
Young Swiss Gardener Puts Bullet In
His Brain and Jumps Into the River.
Yanksd Out by Rescuers Who l,eaped After
Him from the Bridge and Still Lives
Has q Strange Hallucinati0n.

A man was seen to shoot himself and
then Jump from the east end of the Wash
ington-street bridge. last night. about tif-
teen minutes after O'clock. by John Ow-
ems and another man whose name was not
secured by the police. The would-be sui
eide fell into the water, ana the observers
at once initiated his Jump of about thirty
feet and brought HIM to the shore. It was
all done so quickly that the rescuing party
hardly knew what had happened until
they had their man upen the bank,
drenched to the skin and chilled to the
marrow. They then found that the pistol
ball had entered in the right temple rang
ing slightly downward. and causing g
hideous and bloody wound.
The stranger proved to be about twenty
six years of age. fairly we'll dressed and of
intelligent looks. He was still conscious
when patrolmen Haley and Stout arrived
and called the patrol wagon. in which the
stranger was removed to the station house.
Here he was Invested of his wet cloth ng.
and was wrapped IN blankets. A search Of
his pockets disclosed money to the amount
of Swiss make. When asked his name he
replied in well-accented English that he
did not speak English. A German speak
ing reporter was then pressed into
service as interpreter. de then said
his name was Johan Bluem, that
he was native of Switzerland,
and, had been in this country since last
August. He said he had brother living
on South Meridian street in the gardening
business. He himself. he said, was also q
gardener, and had been working for q
truokman named MinRer. who lives near
HsughvIlle.
When pressed for q cause for his rash act
the man was found to be suffering to some
extent from alteration of the mind. He
said he had a fear that the doctors were
going TO put him out of the way by means
Of poison, and that in any event he had to
die violent death before long. He had
been bordering on the subject all day, he
said, and acted under the sudden I'm pulse
as he crossed the bridge to commit the act
He spoke also about a vision he had had q
few days before concerning the Virgin
Mary. ltwas evident that his reason was
unseated.
The City Hospital ambulance was called
and he was taken there for treatment The
resident physioians reported that he was
in no Immediate danger, but ell effort to
reach the ball was unavaIling. The course
OF the ball was such as to destroy the sight
of the right eye. The ball was fired from q
revolver of 81 calIbre. 1t was lost in the
river. he having carried is with him in his
leap from the bridge, but in his pocket
were found several cartridges of this slze

Accountant Walker was very wroth. and

litigation. IL do not believe that the orig
inal plaintiffs knew thing about it," said
be. lone of them is dead. one is out of town.
and one. to my certain knowledge, knew
nothing of the proposed action. The first
litigation was begun for the purpose of
putting the order tenn porarily in the hands
of q receiver until Somerby could be ap-
pretended and sent TO prison for his theft
of the orders money. 1t was arranged
that prominent banker was to be
the receiver. and he came home
from Vermont TO make arrangements
for his bond. At the last moment,
the court refused TO appoint Fletcher. and
appointed Failey. It is the first time in ne
history of such cases that the court would
not give the plaintiffs chance to be heard
