THEY ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
"Brick" Murphy Jumped From
Folsom-S Street Wharf, and G.
Emerson Took Poison.

Emerson Took Poison.
T here were two more attempts at sui
eide on the water front yesterday. Peter
("Brick'D Murphy, who was so well
known as one of BuckIey's lam bs, made
another attempt on his life yesterday.
Ever since Boss Buckley went out of
power Murphy has been gradually going
down the hill. About TWO years ago he
shot himself at his home on Filoert street,
but his friends denied that it was an at
tempt at suicide, claiming that the gun
went off accidentally while he was cean-
ing it. Later he tried to kill hims with
morphine, and that experience gave him
such a liking for he drug that DR.. Hill of
the branch Receiving Hospital on the
water front says that he is now con-
tirmed tiend. Yesterday Murphy wan
dered along East street, and by some
means got on top of the Folsom street
wharf. Ever since the fire the W harf has
been closed, but nevertheless "Brick"
managed 10 make an entry.
He was noticed standing on one of the
stringers by Henry 2 terson, and when
he made the jump into the bay two of the
latter's boatmen made for him. 'Brick"
was going down for the last time when
Harry Johnson jumped in and held him
up Until tiC OOhI SdiuO dlOhHoluC CIV
hauled them both aboard. The ambu-
lance was sent for and he was taken to
the hospital, where DR.. Hill pumped him
out and put him to bed. Late in the aft
ernoon he was doing well, but assorted
that as all his friends had gone back on
him he would make another attempt at
suicide as soon as he got out.
Charles Emerson, who took vermin poi
son, will not come off so we'll as Murphy,
as DR. Hill saws he will sureiy die Emer-
sou is laborer who lives at the Plaza
House, 629 CLAW street. His case is a pc

and aided in giving currency to the many

er corporations. It is true that early n
the week tn estreet had one disappo:nt-

disposition to cut loose from Sugar, and
