SUICIDE
AYERTED

PORTLAND, Aug 9.-But for the sus-
picions Of young drug clerk G. W. Has
we'll would now be giving the coroner a
job, for he attempted 20 commit suicide
| by the poison route. Haswell walked
iuto a drug store at Park ard Jefferson
streets, and after purchasing a few
simple remedies, he said he was suffei-
log from rheumatism and thought he
would make AN arsenic plaster. An ar
senic plaster was something the clerk
had never heard OF in his studies and he
became suspicious, although he now de-
clares he does not know why. A boy
was waiting ON Haswell and when about
to measure the poison the head clerk
said "You had bettet give Mr.. Haswell
the best grade ofarsenic for the p aster"
and then he gave the Latin name for
prepared chalk. Arsenic and prepared
chalk have a close resemblance and can
not be distinguished by one not accus.
toned to handling the two. With his
supposed arsenic Haswell departed for
his farm, three miles west OF this city
and that was the last seen OF him until
he appeared at the drug store again yes
terday. The farmer entered the place
out Of breath and foaming at the mouth
from excitement, In heightened tones
he declared that he had tried to CON-
init suicide and had swollowed the entire
contents of the package. Learning that
Haswell had bought arsenic at no other
place the head clerk felt reassured and
giving the supposed dying man a drink
OF whiskey declared him cured. Has.
well does not know OF the substitution.
