AN ITALIAN TAKES ROUGH ON
RATS BECAUSE OF DISAP-
POINTED LOVE.
Petro Morella, an Italian, aged 35
years, took dose of rought on rats
yesterday afternoon with the intention
of committing suicide.
Morella boarded at the house of
Frank Davis, No. Market street, and
was employed at the morocco factory
of e. Blumenthal & Co. The italian
took the poison about 5 o'clock yester-
day afternoon and then went to his
room and lay down. He later became
very i'll and was given emetics. Grow
ing worse, Policemen Aikens and Mas
sey sent the man TO the Delaware Hos
pital in the patrol. His condition is
still serious, though the physicians re-
port that he is resting easily this
morning.
Morella assigned no reason for his
act, but his friends say he wanted to
marry Alice Davis, niece of the man
with whom he boarded, butt that the
latter opposed his proposition. Disap-
pointment over his suit is supposed to
be the reaons he endeavored to end his
life.
