Man Who Attempted Suicide Near Roaslyn,

WASHINGTON. Aug. 13-The Identity OF the
man who attempted to commit suicide near
Rosslyn. Va. on July 20. was apparently es-
tablished to-day as Abraham Reigold OF New
York. His case has been surrounded with
mystery. and his name was obtained only after
weeks OF effort and by tho ingenuity OF the
physicians at GEORGETOWN Hospital. Reigold
shot himself in the back OF tho head and. while
the bullet did not end his life. he was almost
completely paralyzed from the wound. To con-
ceal his identity he had carefully removed all
means OF Identification from his clothing.
He maintained such an impressive counte-
nance and such reticence that the physicians
believed he could neither hear nor speak To-
day. however. he betrayed himself by answer
Ing the farewell OF discharged patient. Hav-
Ing learned that he could hear and sometimes
speak the doctors informed him he must re-
veal his name. As he refused to talk oven
after this one OF the physicians prepared card
with tho alphabet and instructed him to wink
when his finger touched a letter OF his name
BY this means his name and address were
slowly spelled out. but the patience Of the
doctors being exhausted nothing further was
learned. Reigold is Hebrew and 1t is said he
attempted 70 kill himself on account OF family
troubles.
