 Gustav Andersen, a Swede without friends or home. attempted to commit suicide at noontime yesterday by throwing himself into the pond near the athletic field in Union City. He was seen to make the attempt by Charles Brehm, who ran to his assist ance and after a struggle pulled him from the water. He was then almost suffocated and was black in the face. Deputy Medical Examiner Johnston, who was called, found that the man was not in very serious condition and he was removed to the police sta tion in Naugatuck by Chief Schmidt. who had been summoned. He was given every attention when. he ar rived at the station and when seen two or three times during the after noon it was found that he was slowly recovering from his attempt at self destruction. He said he had no rela- tives or friends and had nothing to live for~ About 1 o'clock, when his cell was visited again. the man was found dead on the floor. He had evi- dently arisen from his bed in the cell and had fallen backward to the floor. striking his head against the stone floor A small pool of blood which oozed from a wound in the head, was near the body. Death was believed to have been caused by the fall and heart trouble The funeral will take place from Twitchelfs undertaking establishment tomorrow morning. The board of charities this afternoon paid a visit to the homes of Frank Nichols and Newell Smith in Millville to confer with them regarding dam ages claimed because of the backing up of the water on their property.
