THREE ATTEMPTS At SUICIDE.
A Wife DespOndent at Her Husbands
Cruel Charge.

There is a theory in police circles that
dismal, rainy weather superinduces morbid
and moody conditions of mind that en-
gender suicidal and homicidal mania
Like most theories this rule if it be a rule
has its exceptions. Time and place gave
the proof yesterday. Although the day, for
the most part, was pleasant and bright
three separate attempts at self destruction
were recorded.
Mrs Edith Morford, thirty-seven years of
age, living at GA old Cornell avenue with
her husband Nelson Morford, a one-eyed
man who sells papers down town, sought
to take her own life. She purchased and
swallowed 10 cents worth of laudanum
Her life was almost at the last ebb when
she was discovered. Hastily DR. Thomas
was summoned from the City Dispensary
shortly after o'clock. After working with
Mrs. Morford for an hour her life was
saved. Domestic infelicity and jealously
was the cause. Mrs. Morford was widow
with a family of children when she mar
ried her present husband. 1t seems that
Nelson Morford accused his wife of in
fidelity and threatened to abandon her and
that the thought of parting with him and
the disgrace of it prompted her to seek to
end her own life. At any rate that is the
story the husband told the physician Mrs
Morford protests that she is guiltless of any
wrong doing and resents her husbands sus-
picionS and jealousy.
