Swallows Match Heads.

Swallows Match Heads.
Neidermier first masticated and
then swallowed the heads of about 100
sulphur matches, then he sawed at
the radial artery in his left wrist with
sharp pointed lead pencil.
Perseveres In Attempt.
Striking a bone in the wrist he gave
up trying to sever the artery and
turned his weapon to the large veins
in his forearm which he tore open,
leaving large jagged wound through
which the blood gushed in streams.
Taken to Hospital.
He was removed to the hospital
where his wound was sewed up by the
physicians.
Makes Second Attempt.
While lying apparently unconscious
and with guards standing by, Nieder.
mier made second attempt at self
destruction. With both arms under the
bed clothing Niedermier stealthily re-.
moved the bandages from% wound
and with the sharp finger naiis of his
right tore away the stitches
which the surgeon had taken in his
| left arm
Horrible Discovery. Il
When the blood began to- spugt from
the lacerated wound he I'M fonacf
uttered a groan and made a convI1lsfve
movement which attracted the atten,
| tion OF the physicians and on throw
ing back the covering the attendants
saw with horror what Niedermier had
done.
Begs for Death.
Niedermier opened his eyes and
with leering wan smile pleaded with
the doctors to let him die. He lost a,
large quantity of blood and was almost
pulseless for a time.
May Yet Cheat GaIIows.
Most of the danger now is from the
possibility that the phosphorus has
burned him SO severely that his life
cannot be saved for it's final snuffiing
out on the gallows.
| Letter Found in Cell.
In letter written by Niedermeier
and found concealed in his cell, he ex-
presses repentance for his career and
regrets leaving the few who have low
ed him, but glorifies in his courage and
loyalty to his kind The reason as
signed for his attempt to commit sui
eide was to show the public that he
could cheat the gallows, notwithstani-
1 ing his guard which was placed over
him.
His Views on Religion.
Neidermeier yesterday declared that
hereafter any one visiting him to talk
religion must answer his questions in
stead of interrogating him.
II want to talk with some one" he
said, "who can show me there is any
thing reasonable about religion. +
