Ralph purvs of laj South Bromley
avenue. made several unsuccessful at
tompts To commit suicide in the jack
son street police station house Satur-
day night. but each time he was pre-
vented by the officers. About o'clock
in the evening h" approached PATROL
man David Davis and wanted the Off
Ger to accompany him home Davis
told him to go home and he started up
Jackson street.
4 few minutes afterwards Purvis
stood on the sidewalk near the Ply
mouth church and began Il TRADE
against the police force in general. \
large crowd was attracted by his shout
nes and when David started after
him he ran up the street to Bromley
avenue. where he again began his
ab,Isc.
Again he was pursued by the patrol
man. who ran after him to his home.
whore he was placed under arrest, 1t
was necessary for the officer 10 us"
his club and handouts before Purvis
would submit to arrest. Lieutenant
Williams then appeared and assisted
IN removing the frantic young man Tt
lhe station house. where he was locked
IN cell No, 9.
About 10 o'clock Lieutenant Williams
heard groans emanating from the cell
and upon investigation found Purvis
hanging to the iron bars on the top
OF the cell. He had torn his shirt into
strips and, fastening one end to the
top cross-bars, tied the other end
around his neck and was hanging when
the lieutenant cut him down. This in
creased his anger and he opened up
another TRADE of abuse against the
officers.
His effort at suicide appears to be
somewhat OF "a fake, and he was none
the worse for his experience. About
II o'clock Patrolman Hart went into
the station house for lunch and as he
was passing Purvis' cell found him
again strung mp. This time he had
torn his coat into strips and tied them
together.
