SUICIDE WITH A PIN.
Strange Method Used by Young Girl
at Providence, r. !.

Providence, July 24.-The autopsy

young woman who died at her home

region of the heart and piercing the
pericardium was found a steel hat pin.
four inches in length. and in the
stomach, a part of another and similar
pin, about one and hree-fourths inches
long, was found.
Dr. ChaGnon, who performed the au-
topsy. says the larger pin evidently was
forced into the body by the girl in an
hysterical attempt to penetrate the
heart. The smaller pin might have
found it's way to the girls stomach by
way of her mouth, but this theory is
believed improbable.
Previous to the girls death a sewing
needle was removed during an opera
ton. and although the presence OF
other foreign substances was suspected.
nothing was located. The girl suffered
intensely up to the time of her death.
but she gave no explanation of her
strange actions.
The attending physicians believe that
the direct cause which led to the girls
suicidal actions was hysteria, which af-
fected the suffered in a very peculiar
manner.
Miss Jodoin was 20 years old, and
had only recently returned from a con-
vent in New Jersey to her home be-
cause of the severity of her illness.
