depth OF from to 25 feet, while lower

tempt to Kill Himself.
Chicago, April 20. - Peter Neider-
meier, the leader of the car barn
bandits condemned to die on the gal
lows Friday. made two desperate at
tempts at suicide yesterday. His
condition as a result is so p%recarious
that it is feared he will not survive.
Should he still be alive next Friday
he will be carried to the gallows and
executed.
Neidermeier planned his attempted
suicide carefully. First he masticated
and swallowed the heads of seventy
five or a hundred sulphur matches.
While the phosphorus was burning his
stomach he sawed at the radial artery
of his left wrist with a sharp-pointed
lead pencil. Striking a bone in the
wrist he gave mp trying
To Sever the Artery
and turned his weapon on the large
veins on the outer side of the left
forearm, and with jabs and see-saw
motion he lacerated the flesh and
muscles of the arm and tore open the
veins, leaving the large jagged wound
exposed, through which the blood
gushed in streams, dyeing his bed
clothing and running down over the
cell floor in pools.
His cecOnd attempt came after the
wound had been dressed and closed by
the county physician. Neidermeier
was lying apparently unconscious in
the hospital under a guards care. His
right arm and hand were hidden by
the bed clothing, and hardly with a
discernible motion he slipped the
bandage off his left arm and with his
sharp finger nails tore away the
thread in the wounds, and, inserting
his forefinger in the ragged holt, he
worked again at the veins and sought
to reach the artery. He unc~onsciously
Uttered a Groan
and made a convulsive movement
which attracted the attention of the
physicians, nurses and the guard, and
on throwing back the coverlids the at
~tendants saw with horror that Neider-
meier had torn away the ~bandages
and reopened the wound. Neidermeier
opened his eyes, and with a leering
wan mile. exclaimed
Let M die, Doc. Go away and let
me die. You were almost too late the
first time. Now, why do you try to
save my life?"
Neidermeier lost a large quantity of
blood and was almost pulseless for a
time. The most danger, however, is
that the poisonous phosphorus has
burned hin so severely that his life
'~unot be saved for it's final snufing
out on the gallows.
