An Attempted Suicide.

James Flanagan, an employe al
Burditt Mills in Shrewsbury, attempt
cd suicide in John Danvers' house
recently. Flanagan and a friend, Mr.
Conlin, after drinking hard got into
fight and Flanagan's arm was bro
ken. After quieting both Flanagan
and Conlin, John Danvers started to
Rutland for a doctor. While Dan.
vers was gone, his brother, who is an
imbecile, gave the pistol to Flanagan,
who raised it to his temple and fired.
The bullet passed through his skull
and brain, coming out at the top OF
the head and lodging in the partition.
Drs. Stearns and Rustedt of Rutland
were sent for and they attended the
unfortunate man. Z. M. Burditt, one
of the proprietors for whom Flanagan
worked, brought him to his mother
on Meadow street. Here Drs. Stearns,
Rustedt and Gilchrist examined the
wound and came to the conclusion
that it was fatal. Aside from his i'll
ness and his scuffle with Collin, there
was no motive given for Flanagan's
suicide. Flanagan was about 25
years old and was said by those who
knew him to have been industrious.
