An Insane Mans Desperate
Attempt at Suicide
CASHED HIMSELF FEARFULLY
AND CAME VERY NEAR BLEED
ING TO DEATH
Imaginary Enemies Were Trying to
Kill Him and He Wanted to
Finish the Job

John Tarbi5 an insane prisoner locked
UP in the jail at San Pedro, made des-
perate attempt to commit suicide yes
terday afternoon, using the lid OF tin
lard can a. the instrument for self de-
Struction. He was found at o'clock in
an unconscious state, bleeding profusely'
from a number Of gashes In his forehead
by Deputy Constable T. M. Williams.
who had come into his cell with his din
ner. The tin lid which had been used to
infiict the wounds lay upon the floor COW
cred with blood.
A physician was summoned hurried
ly. He made an examination Of the
mans injuries and found that his condi-
tion was critical. A great deal Of blood
had been lost and death would shortly
have resulted from this cause.
Tarbis is plumber about 35 years old.
and has lived at San Pedro for some
time. Recently his mind became af-
| fected, and he imagined that enemies
were trying to kill him. During the past
| few days he has become more or less vio-
| lent when laboring under this hallucina-
| tion and Saturday afternoon Constable
| williams locked him up, expecting to
bring him to this city today and have
| him committed to the Highland insane
asylum.
Yesterday noon he had fed the man In
Jail and he was perfectly quiet. There
were three large gashes in each wrist
besides the cuts about his forehead. All
the cuts had been made with the lid OF
a tin can which had been left in the cell
The lid had been placed against the side
Of the cell with the sharp side out and
then Tarbis had stood and bumped hi:
head against 1t. The cuts in his wrist:
had been made by placing his arm
across the sharp edge and then pound
ing 1t with the other hand.
The injured man was bundled up a!
quickly as possible and brought to this
| city. He was first taken to the county
jail but since the new insane laws wert
passed no patients are now taken there
50 he was removed to the county hos
pital. He was very weak from loss Of
blood and 1t Is doubtful If he, will re.
cover.
Last night, when he regained con
sciousness, Tarbis was asked why hi
had tried to kill himself. WELL" he re
piled, II might just as we'll finish ths
job myself, because II don't somebod,
else WILL" He will be brought up toda.
