TRIED TO CHEAT HANGMAN.
Chicago Car Bandit Makes Tive At
tempts at Suicide.

Peter Niedermeier, the leader of the
Chicago car bandits, condemned to die
On the gallows Friday, made two des-
perate attempts at suicide Monday.
His condition as result is so precari-
GUS that it is feared he will not sur
vive. Should he still be alive next
Friday he will be carried to the gal
lows and executed. Nedermeier
planned his attempted suicide care
fully. First he masticated and swal-
lowed the heads of seventy-five or lee
sulphur matches. While the phosphor-
ous was burning his stomach he
sawed at the artery of his left wrist
with sharp pointed lead pencil, tear.
Ing the member in a fearful manner.
The second attempt was made after
ae had been discovered and his
wounds had been dressed, when he
slipped the bandages off his left arm
and with his sharp finger nails tore
away the threads in the wounds, and,
inserting his forefinger into the
ragged hole, he worked again at the
veins and sought to reach the artery.
