DETERMINED TO Kill HIMSELF.
Chicago Doctor Uses Both Morphine
and IL Knife.

CHICAGO, April 17.-Dr. Elmer E. Prescott,
son of the physician of the same name. who
was the victim OF a murder that developed
one Of the most famous mysteries in the
police history Of the city, made a determined
attempt to kill himself at his home last night.
His condition this morning is such that the
attending physician, DR.. Bracket, said re-
coyeTy was impossible. The details OF the
young PHYSICIANS attempt on his own life
are sensational. 1t seems the doctor swal-
lowed ten grains of morphine and lay down
upon O couch. Fifteen minutes later he
rushed into the kitchen, where a domestic
was at work. and, snatching a table knife
from her hand, commenced hacking at his
throat. The woman attempted to disarm him,
but he evaded her and rushed through the
house, blood squirting from his wounds and
dyeing the carpets and walls as he passed
through. Throwing open the front door, the
doctor ran out upon the sidewalk and there
commenced s~lashing at his left forearm,
seeking to sever an artery. He succeeded in
making thirty distinct wounds in his arms
before two men. who had been watching him,
sufficient courage to interfere.
They got possession of the knife and the
doctor ran back into the house, declaring
he would find another weapon.
A policeman had been called and 1t re-
quired the combined efforts Of four men to
control the doctor. When DR.. Bracket. who
had been summoned, arrived and an attempt
was made to quiet Prescott in order to care
for his wounds, the latter grew more violent
and the attendants were obliged to strap
him to his bed. He declared he wanted to
die and tried to prevent D.. Bracket from
dressing his wounds. DIR. Prescott has been
under the care of a specialist Of late for
treatment.
The crime known as the bath house
murder, 1.-The killing Of the elder Prescott, Is
remembered by many, The crime was com
mitted in the autumn OF 1882, in the bath
room in the basement of the Prescott tene-
ment, TIE son, who last night attempted to
take his life. went to the theater and upon
returning at midnight discovered his father
dead on the floor Of the basement, near the
bath room. The body had been frightfully
mutllated, the head being pounded almost TO
a pulp, a heavy iron bar in all probability
being the weapon used by the murderer.
The motive for the crime was as remote
from solution as the identity Of the guilty
ones. No evidence was found to implicate
any one at the time and the crime remains
a mystery.

Linford Woods. defendant in the insurance
swindling case. was held before Alderman

pointed. At the conclusion of the testimony

with the case. would be present at the hear

The Mutual Reserve FGnd association was
represented by superintendent G. f.. Harper.
In his testimony he identified the application
of David l.. Duffy for $40, 900 insurance and
said there We're about thirty or forty Others.

CATTLE-The week closed with a slight
gain in receipts of cattle over yesterday,
seventy-seven loads being reported in today.
The market on beef cattle opened slow
and weak, with buyers bearish and indit-

more life to the trade and everything
offered on the market changed hands in
reasonably good season. In respect to
values the market was just about loo
lower than the high point of the week.
There were only a few COWS and heifers
in the yards, but the market was slow

accosted Mrs. Sandridge, whereupon she
started to run, at the same time scream

was too feet-fOOted, however, and soon
overlook her. A violent struggle was in

hunting their cows, made their appear
