is 1T ADAMS {?
The Man Who Attempted Sulc,de at Jer.
sey Shore is Supposed to be
: Charles Adams.

A desperate attempt at suicide on
the part ofa prisoner arrested for
jumping board bill atJersey Shore
has led TO the discovery that his de-
scription tallies exactly with that OF
Charles, alias George +. Adams, whc
is wanted in Philadelphia, on tn,
charge of having murdered his aunt
in that city in June, 1897.
The prisoners arrest was effected
on Thursday by Chief ofPolice Nor
ton and Officer Brown, on tele.
graphed charge of defrauding &
Wil'iamsport hotelkeeper. He wa,
placed in cell in the police station
and left alone with his thoughts
Ten minutes later the attention oftht
turnkey was attracted to a noise il
the newly-occupied cell, and the dis.
covery was made that the prisoner
had tried to cut his throat.
Two ugly gashes had been mad,
with a knife that had been deity
concealed. Life appeared to be al
most extinct. A physician was
promptly summoned, the flow OF
blood was stopped andthc mans life
was temporarily saved, but there
seems to be little hope of bis ulti-
mate recovery, for he stubbornly re-
fuses all nourishment.
The idea OF aprisoncr arrested for
n comparatively trihing oilcnsc max
ing such II desperate attempt ON his
life was looked upon by the police
officials here asdccidcdly suspicious.
They carefully examined their lists
of descriptionsoi wanted criminals
and found that this mans answered
perfectly to that Of the ng-lookcd-
for Philadelphia murderer.
Try as they might the officials
could get nothing out of the prison.
cr. He would neither admit nor
deny that his name was Adams. 1t
was asccrtained that hc had been
employed upon farm near Jersey
Shore for some time past, and
that he was recently married, also
that he had been working in VIII
Transport as Il plumber several
months ago.
The police of Philadelphia, were
notified that the prisoners identity
with Adams was practically cstab-
lished.
