Jennie Banks Sought to End Her Life With
Rope.
Her Husband Was the Cause of the
Desperate Attempt-She VIII
Probably Recover.

Jennie Banks, a coloIed woman, became
tired of life because her husband left her,
and this morning she made an effort to
end her existence on earth and end to the
grave all that is mortal Of her. Whether
she will succeed or not will not be known
until tomorrow, perhaps, for DR.. Richard
son, who was called to see her, could see
no reason why dissolution should occur
today. Indeed. he thinks that If she is
kept quiet anc given proper treatment she
will recover. She was not conscious when
neighbor found her hanging, and was
unable to talk. but the doctor thinks she
VIII regain her power of speech In time to
ask for her breakfast tomorrow.
Jennie Banks Is a married woman, and
had been true to her husband, John Banks
and the police think he is to blame for
leaving her. Women in the neighborhood
say he left her because he had changed
bis love and affections from Jennie to an
other dark damsel. Sunday night he was
at home, but Monday night and last night
he did not return.
Jennie loved him so dearly that she could
not bear to be separated from him, and,
rather than live without N, she deter
mined to send her soul to nifty. She had
always been faithful wife to him, and she
had done her part well. The home at No.

Sunday night Jennie hSS brooded over her
loss, and some time this morning she made
the effort to close the last chapter in her
life. The attempt was made by hanging,
and the rope-a clothesline-was tied about
the room in a novel way There was no
I drop. such as is given men condemned to
death by the court, nor were her feet off
the floor when she found Still she
was unconscious, and people about the
house think she could have rescued herself
after she had fallen and before she had be-
come unconscious had she felt so inclined.
One end of the rope had been nailed to
the wall. and then looped about her neck
several times. The other end of the line
she had fastened to the window while
another part of 1t was fastened to the door.
Having thus arranged the line, she threw
the weight of her body on the line, and
was slowly strangling to death when a
neighbor called. This neighbor was Sarah
Platter, who was surprised to find, as she
supposed, that Jennie had gone out. Blu.
she was not satisfied at her refusal to re-
spond TO her call, and she went upstairs
to the back bed room. 1t was in this room
that Jennie had made the attempt to COM
nit suicide, and Sarah unfastened the rope
before she went out to cali assistance.
Policeman Anderson was among those
who responded to the call for help, and he
summoned DR.. Richardson. The doctor
was soon at the house, and he found her
