DRANK GIN, NOT POISON.
Mrs. Fisscl Scared Her Husband
and Had to Go to m Hospital.

I'D rather be dead than endure this
life any longer" screamed handsome
Mrs. Emma Fissell on the top floor of
the tenement 43O East Sixteenth street,
this morning.
She has been married only six months.
and for much of that time her hus-
band, Irving Fissell. has been out of
work, while she supported both as
stripper in a cigar factory. Fissell had
become used to his young wife's scold-
ing, and stolidly smoked his pipe.
"D'ye hear?" I'll kill myself" she
yelled and rushed to a closet where
she seized a bottle of colorless liquid
and swallowed half of 1t at gulp.
Then she threw herself upon the floor
and rolled about in apparent convul-
sons.
Fissell was scared out of his stolidity
and race downstairs, crying out that his
wife had poisoned herself. He met Po-
liceman Henry Clarke, of the East
Twenty-second street station, who lis
tened to his story and rang for an
ambulance.
Mrs. Fisser protested that she had
only drank some gin with the intent of
frightening her husband. She was given
an emetic, however. despite her protest
and taken to the hospital. She Will be
released this evening.
