SUICIDE AT THE JAIL.
lose Maria Martinez, A County Pris
oner, Slashed His Throat.
PARTICULARS OF StLf-DeSTRUCTlON.

Between the hours OF 1880 o'clock
last night and this morning, In the
corridor OF the county jail, Jose Maria
Martinez committed suicide by cutting
his throat with the sharpened handle
of a spoon, The man had retired for
the night at about $3.50 o'clock, ap-
parently In the best OF spirits and
health. and after lying down on his
blankets on the top of the iron cage
he joined In conversation with his
fellow prisoners until about 1880
o'clock, when all rolled over again"
and went TO sleep. One of the pris-
oners, whose conscience was not what
II should be. caused him much uneasi-
ness and as consequence he did not
enjoy a sound sleep. He was awake
at various times. but declares he
heard no one walking around during
the night. Al any rate, the sleepless
prisoner got up shortly after 2 o'clock,
when he discovered Martinez lying on
his back cold in death on the floor
OF the corridor In the northwest cor
ner Of the jail. The alarm was sound
ed and Jailer Nicolas Lucero and his
assistants rushed TO the scene where
the horrible deed had been commit
ted. From all appearances II was
evident that Marlinez had planned for
sometime to take his own life, as
arose in the night, dressed himself,
climbed down from the top OF the cage
to the floor Of the corridor, where II
is supposed he was standing when he
began slashing at his throat. Blood
had spurted high above his head onto
the iron bars OF the cage. and when
weakened by the loss OF blood he fell
backwards 10 the floor. Even then he
was determined to accomplish self
destruction. for his hands were be-
smeared with blood and grasped the
jagged edges of the wound. The man
laying there with a fourinch cash in
his throat. eyes wide open and cloth
ing completely saturated with blood.
certainly presented sight which
some OF those prisoners will not soon
forget.
Al about daylight a coroner's Jury
was empanelled, and after the mem
bers had viewed the body and visited
the scene where the suicide had been
committed. listened to the testimony
OF several prisoners and the guards
OF the jail. Following Is the verdict:
