ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Mrs, Josie Garrett, a Domestic,
Tries to End Life
HELP SECURED In TINE TO SAVE HER.
Breeding Over Domestic Troubles the
Woman, Who Came From Clinton
Thursday, Takes Morphine, Their,
Tells Her Mistress of the Act.
[From Tuesdays Daily.l

tFrom Tuesdays Daily.J
While brooding over the troubles
through which she had recently gone,
Mrs. Josie Garrett, a domestic employ,
ed by w. w. Ennis, corner Fourth and,
Wapello streets. took large dose of
morphine this afternoon in an attempt
to commit suicide. Shortly after the
woman had taken the drug she told
Mrs. Ennis what she had done and the
latter called DR.. d. A. LaForce, who
administered the usual emetics and at
3o'clock it is believed the womans life
has been saved. After Dr. LaForce
had done all he could for her the pa
troll wagon was called and Mrs. Carrot
was removed to the Ottumwa hospital.
Little is known of the woman. She
made her appearance at the Ennis
! home Thursday night and asked for
work. AS Mrs. Ennis was in need of
help she engaged her. Since that
time she has told something of her
story. She says she has been married
and has two children. She said that
a short time ago her husband obtain
ed a divorce from her, and shortly af-
forwards she left her home. She told
Mrs. Ennis that she came from Gin
ton, which place had been her home
for many years.
| Since her appearance at the Ennis
home she had appeared very much dis
couraged, but at no time did the fam
lily have any idea that she contemplat-
ed self destruction. She continued
along this line until this afternoon,
when she suddenly startled Mrs. Eu-
mis- nearly into Mysteries by calmly
announcing that she had taken car
bolic acid. Mrs. Ennis at once called
a physician and he found that instead
of carbolic acid she had taken NOR
! phine. Apparently she had taken a
large quantity and it was some time
before the restoratives would take eff
feet. Finally, however, DR.. LaForce
decided that she was out of danger for
the time being, but decided that she
should go to the hospital for treat
ment.
When the patrol wagon was at first
called there was mistake in the
number, and Chief Gray did not know
where to answer the call. After a
wait of some time, however the right
direction was given, and the patrol
wagon responded to the call.
Mrs. Garrett was found partly I'M
conscious on her bed and it was with
considerable difficulty that she was
placed in the patrol wagon. She is a
large woman and will weigh in the
neighborhood of 200 pounds. She ap-
peared to be about thirty-five or for
ty years of age and her hair was
streaked with gray. Her face had the
appearance of one who had seen much
, trouble.

in police court yesterday morning
was the appearance of woman who
gave her name as Jennie Smith and
claiming Foster as her home. She
was charged with intoxication, and adj
mitted her guilt. 1t developed that
she had called a certain hackman to
take her to the Milwaukee depot to
catch Tuesday mornings train fol-
home, and that instead of taking hel
! to the depot he took her to a saloon
where he procured several drinks fol
her Finally the woman became sc
drunk that she was unable to walk
| and the hackman drove her to the pc
llice station to get rid of her. She was
placed i'm Jail until yesterday morning
when she was called for trial. She
was a woman of possibly forty years
4 of age and appeared to have come o
good family. She said she was no
| in the habit of doing this, and tina
she did not know how she happened
to become intoxicated. The court re
leased her so she could catch thu
morning train home.
Too Much Cheer.

in police circles, was in court yeste1
