Convict Kendall, who was sent to the
penitentiary several years ago for
criminal assault at Wa-Keeney, at
tempted suicide in his cell last-Satur-
day night by hanging, after writing
on slat the full statement of his
case, saying that he was innocent of
the crime of which he was conyicted:
that he thought of the welfare of his
wife and children haunted him day
and night, and that he had fully re-
solved to end his trouble by taking
his life. He improviSed rope by
tearing parts of his clothing. This
he fastened to the upper part of his
bunk, drawing a moose at the other
end tightly around his neck. The
only way he could get the required
pressure was by dropping in a sitting
posture. He was slowly strangling
when guard discovered him and cut
him down. He is now in the hos
pital.-
