Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
LIBERTY, Ind, April 15.-Your corre-
spondent was misinformed in many re-
spects concerning the attempted suicide of
Scott Stivers. In his delirium his hall
lucination was that he must take his life
by torture. and this he proceeded to do by
hacking his breast and abdomen some
twenty mot 1900 times, inflicting but slight
injuries. His alteration is due to excessive
use of alcoholic liquors, for which he was
recently treated at the Richmond institute.
It is but the truth to state that he mani
feSed the same unbalanced Authorization
before he was sent to the institute. He
rallied from his crazed condition to-day,
and talked nationally and manifested deep
anguish at his rash act. 1t is possible he
can be restored in mind. He has been con-
nected for twenty years with the publica-
ton of the Liberty Herald.
