a characteristic humorous story by

TRIED TO HANG HIMSELF
A City Prisoner Tries to Commit
Suicide
Tore Strip Of His Blanket and Tied 1t to
the VentiIator, Then Suspended
Himself From II

&C. Bruester, a morphine flend arrest
ed some ten days ago for stealing tools
from pawn shop, attempted to commit
suicide last night by hanging himself to a
ventilator in his cell. The miserable crea-
ture had for some time past been in agony,
owing to the loss of his drug, and had said
that he would do for himself in some way,
several times.
During the evening he employed him
self by tearing up blanket into strips,
and with these fastened together he made
a fairly good rope. This he fastened to
the ventilator, and making moose, placed
it around his neck and got on the seat of
the privy connected with the cell. After
bracing himself he suddenly jumped off,
and deliberately keeping his feet
from touching the ground. hung in that
manner for some time. His cell mate,
who was asleep upon the bed, was
awakened by choking, gasping sounds, and
jumping up yelled for the jailer, at the
same time grabbing the pendent body and
keeping the weight off the neck. On the
man being cut down life was at first pro-
nounced extinct, but with treatment and
medical restoratives he eventually recov-
cred. Almost his first words were regret
that his plan had failed, followed by de-
termination to repeat the act at an early
date. 1t would probably have been mercy
had he achieved his end, as the tortures of
tiend deprived Of his drug are damnable.
