as they are all good players, but they need

she had become n confirmed opium eater
and had stolen the dollar to buy the drug
with which to satisfy her cravings. She

Yesterday was spent in scclusion

to desire to be left alone. Late last
evening another message was received at
the police station to come for her, as she
was in the cellar and 1t was believed
she was sick again. Once more Officer
Robbins went to the scene, and down in
the cellar behind a trunk next to the wall
lying on pile of old clothes found the
unfortunate woman.
He dragged the trunk away. and was
Mortified to see great pools of blood
lying clotted on the floor. Close by lay
a large pocket knife. with one blade
open and smeared with blood. The lady
was barely conscious, and was once
more taken to the receiving hospital.
Here it was found that she had barred
her left forearm, and, with the knife.
made a cash across, severing the veins
and blood vessels. evidently with the
purpose of causing herself to bleed to
death. This purpose was almost accom-
plished, for she was In very weak con-

tempt Was Frustrated-A Second and
More Successful Effort

For the second time within a week
an elderly lady named Mrs. Maria White
attempted suicide at her lodgings at No.
sos South Hill street last evening". The
first attempt was made last Monday, but
at the urgent request of her friends the
facts were withheld on account of her
responsibility and the peculiar circum-
stances attending the case.
Mrs. White Is some 81 years Of age and
has resided in this city for eight or ten
months, the greater portion of which
time has been spent at the residence in
question. She has seemed to be we'll
provided with funds and made frequent
side trips to the surrounding towns. She
has been great traveller and often spoke
OF European cities showing thorough
familiarity with the old countries. A
brother named oscar White resides at
the corner of Fourteenth and Linden
STREETS, Oakland, and is said to be a COM
mercial traveller.
The old lady has lately seemed to be
somewhat peculiar and her actions have
been childish and uncommon. She has
kept closely to herself, but circumstance
es have shown that she had about run
out of money and grew desperate. Last
Sunday her eccentric actions were
marked, but nothing was said. That
evening she was detected in the act of
abstracting a silver dollar from side
board in the dining-room but the mat
ter was smoothed over by the landlady,
who invited Mrs White to take a cup of
coffee with her in the morning and they
would talk over her troubles.
On Monday morning she did not APP
pear and the door Of her room remained
locked all day. Late in the afternoon the
police were notified, and Officer Rob-
bins responded to the call He forced
the door and found Mrs. White sitting
in a rocking chair in a semi-conscious
condition and by her side on the table n
quart bottle nearly full of laudanum,
also half pint of chloroform. There
was also a wineglass full of laudanum
poured out ready to be drank. The old
lady was removed to the receiving hos
pital and the bottles were taken along a s
evidence.
The fresh air on the way down partial
ly revived her and she was much better
when laid on a lounge in the hospital.
While awaiting the arrival of DR.. Bry-
ant the jailer and trusty were called out
of the room to take in prisoner, when
the desperate woman made a fresh at
tempt on her life. The trusty heard
noise in the hospital and got in just in
time to find that she had slipped off the
lounge. gone to the table where the bot
ties of poison that had been brought
with her had been placed and was in the
act of taking a fresh dose of laudanum
from the bottle when he snatched 1t
from her hands.
DR.. Bryant, on arrival, soon found that
the had not taken enough of the drug
to be in danger, and all she needed was
rest and quiet. The miserable woman
had left letter in her room addressed
to the landlady. in which a startling
