E. P. SPECHT ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
A dispatch from ST. Louis says: "E. P.
Specht has added another sensational
chapter TO the history of his family.
An early morning dash through the ST.

his removal to the City Hospital, where
he Is now in precarious condition.
Young Specht is son of Joseph
Specht, who was at one time ore of
the proprietors of the Famous" q
local dry goods establishment.
Several years ago the older Specht's
wife was fascinated by Nine. Bla-

pounded by Dr. J. c. Nidelet, and she
spent large sums OF money in further

vanced him, founded theosophic re.

ly displeased with his wife's
course and the family were estfanged.
Afterward Joseph Specht sold out his
local interest and went to New York,
but his wife returned to st. Louis and

Mr.. and Mrs. Specht went East, osten-
