at 3 o'clock IN vain effort to take her
life. DR. Lezotte was summoned and

the story given nv the landlady.
Call Doctor.
Doctor Lezotte was summoned and
the girl was carried up stairs to her
room where efforts were made to
save her life. The attending physician
says the only thing that saved her was
that she 6idn't have eno"eh poison,

an ounce. She is recovering nicely.

Identify the dead robber in st. Louis
who made confession on his dying

TENDER IL.
Mr.. Barofsky's connection with the
case is a peculiar one. 1t will be re-
membered that the detectives found
near the place of the holdup a news
paper bearing the name of Henry
Schroeder, the saloonkeeper at 321
West Second street. The dective
traced the clue back and found that
two men had come into the place a
night or two before the robbery and
bought bottle Of whisky, taking a
paper to wrap it up in.
Mr.. Barofsky happened to be in the
Schroeder place at the time and when
he read an account of the incident he
instantly recalled the fact and remem-
bered the faces of the men who pur-
chased the whisky.
AS soon as this was learned the de-
tectiyes were notified and now that
the train robber in st. Louis has con-
fessed the detectives are anxious to
know whether his statements were
true.
Accordingly Mr.. Barofsky has gone
to st. Louis to look at the face of the
dead man and see if he can identify
him as one of the men who purchased
the bottle of whisky at the Shredder
saloon,
