Gle at whose house the child lives. She
claimed this was disobedience to the
court.

DIR. Charles OLeary visit the child and
he found IL i'm good health. Mr.. Walsh
according 10 his wife used very vile lam

open and the room was filled with the
fluid
Hastily removing the unconscious wo-
man Mr. Munro called for assistance.
The physician. who responded suggested
that Mrs. Munro be sent TO the Rhode
Island hospital. which was done
AT the hospital IL was found that Mrs.
Munro had not inflicted a serious wound
and that she had not inhaled enough gas
10 cause her death. Still, on account of
her age and her long-continued Illness,
the shock might be so great that Ii would
make the effort at suicide a success.
The old lady had used her husband $
razor and with this had made cuts that
were not deep enough TO sever the larynx.
Failing I'm that attempt she had turned
on the gas, and becoming faint from loss
of blood had laid down 10 die. The for
tunate arrival OF Mr.. Munro defacted that
plan.
Before attempting TO take her life Mrs
Munro had closed and barricaded the door
OF the bed room by putting furniture
against it.

A distressing attempt at suicide was
made this morning in the tenement at
IS Kenyon street. occupied by Court
Crier James n. Munro and his wife.
Mrs. Munro is 20 years OF age and has
been much-suffering invalid for the last
eight years
Her affiiction at times has made her
exceedingly despondent, but her husband
did not anticipate that she contemplated
anything of rash character.
When Mr.. Munro was leaving home at
3 o'clock this morning he noticed that
his wife was unusually nervous; but this
did not cause him any worry.
Circumstances permitting. he went
home at a much earlier hour than usual,
reaching the house about 1850 o'clock.
He did not see his wife nor did he hear
her moving
This aroused his suspicious. and pro-
ceeding at once 20 the spare bedroom, he
found his wife on the bed with blood up
on her throat and dress.
