| Special to Times Republican.
Greene, March 25.-After repeated
attempts by various methods to COM
NIT suicide NJ. r. Cunlmins. of this
place, has been taken before the in
sanity commission. Cunmins' frantic
attempts to kill himself have caused a
good deal of excitement and his mem
tai condition seems to have arisen from
an ENHANCEMENT with a young woman
whom he was forced to marry about
four months ago. When the informa-
ton was sworn out against Cummins
by the girl he consented to marry her.
He could not be reconciled to the situa-
ton, however, and made repeated
threats to kill himself. He then made
two or three attempts to run away, but
his nerve failed him and he would re-
turn. Last night he took dose of
morphine sufficient, as he supposed. TIC
end his own life. but the physicians
succeeded in bringing him thru, and he
then made unsuccessful attempts to
throw himself from the bridge and to
take his life with a pocket knife. Tbs
case is a sad one. Cummins was en-
ployed on dairy farm and had a cool
reputation previous to his trouble.
