u .35 H Efforts to End His e lite. 81

i 3
4 Chicago, April 19. Peter Neider
meier, the leader Of the car barn ban
dts, condemned to die on the gallows
| Friday, made two desperate attempts
at suicide during the day. His condi
ton as result is so precarious that
1t is feared he will not survive. Should
he still be alive next Friday he will be
carried to the gallows and executed.
Ne1dermeier planned his attempted
suicide carefully. First he masticated
and swallowed the heads of seventy
five or hundred sulphur matches
y 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 up trying to sever the
artery and turned his weapon on the
large veins on the outer side of his
left forearm and with jabs and see
saw motion he lacerated the flesh and
muscles of the arm and tore open the
veins, leaving 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 second attempt
was made in the hospital while he was
under guard. He tore off the bandages
and opened the wound with his finger
nail. A slight groan warned the
nurses and the attempt was discovered,
but not until the bandit had lost a
large quantity of blood.

HEIRS WILL APPEAL
APPLICATION TO REMOVE BRYAN
As EXECUTOR OF BENNETT
ESTATE DENIED.

New Haven, Conn, April 1S.-A de-
cision denying in effect the application
for the removal of William J. Bryan
as executor of the estate Of the late
Philo S. Bennett has been rendered by
Judge Cleaveland in the probate court.
The application was brought by
counsel for Mrs. Grace Imogene Ben
nett, the widow, and other residuary
legatees on the ground that Mr.. Bryan
was acting contrary to the interests
of the estate. The decision sustains
a demurrer filed by Mr.. Bryan's coun-
sci and practically denies the applica-
ton, as far as the probate court is
concerned The matter will now go to
the higher court on appeal.
The claim of the residuary legatees
that Mr.. Bryan was acting contrary
to tho best interests Of the estate was
based on the fact that he appealed as
an Individual and as a trustee from
the decree of the probate court refus-
ing to incorporate as a part Of the will
the sealed letter by which Mr.. Bennett
expressed a wish that Mr.. Bryan
should have $4,000. It was claimed
by the residuary legatees that this ap-
peal is inconsistent with his duties as
executor of the will and that he Is I'M
necessarily delaying the settlement Of
the estate

Former Mayor Of Minneapolis Charged
With Accepting Bride.
Minneapolis, April 16.-Dr. A. A.
Ames, four times mayor of Mfnneap-
oils, again has been indicted on the
charge of receiving a bride while he
was chief executive of the city.
This latest indictment was returned
by the grand jury late in the after
noon and a little before 5 o'clock the
former mayor was brought into court
by Arthur l.. Jones, chief deputy shor-
if, and before Judge Elliott he entered
a plea of not guilty.
The trial of the case was set for
May 2 and the bonds which the doctor
is now under in connection with previ-
GUS indictments cover this case, so he
was not called upon to furnish any ad-
ditional security. The Indictment con-
tains an accusation of but one offense.
It is charged by this indictment that
A. A. Ames, during December, 1901,
and while he was mayor of the city,
received. through his agent, Irwin A.
Gardner, $40, which was paid to him
by Bessie Lee in return for police pro-
lection, meaning that she was to be
allowed to run her business without
fear of molestation by the police OF

New York Sun.
He ran the baby carriage into the
clubhouse, took OF his hat and coat,
lighted his pipe. and sat down with a
sigh Of relief beside his grinning bach
elor friend.
"Old man." said he. you have had
the good fortune to be entertained with
my very first appearance in the role of
baby carriage propelling motor. !
wouldn't have missed the experience
for anything. 1t has given me an in
side view Of woman's heart which 1t
does me good to have.
You know, Of course. that have a
very proper feeling of pride In my
young one; so at first it did not cause
me any wonder when ] saw that al
most every woman encountered In
my travels had a smile to bestow upon
me. Yes. sir. would be ambling
along in the wake of tall, severe
looking matron, and would try to pass
her in the narrow street, and she would
move aside with an expression of dis
pleasure. but as soon a. she would see
the baby her lips would part and her
eyes brighten and in almost every in
stance she would nod her head toward
the young man in the carriage.
women driving by would turn
their heads to smile, and after little
while would keep my eyes upon the
face Of any woman ADVANCING toward
me. The young ones had a quick and
| tVA
would smile frankly and broadly. and
old ladies' with dim eyes peerine
through or over their spectacles would
look az though they wanted to stop and
fondle the boy. Sometimes. by George
they did.
$50 it went on up and down the
street. don't believe there was sin
gle young or middle aged man gave the
kid look. although some old men did
and most Of them had grins for his
baby. but I'm willing to wager that
there wasn't one woman out Of ter
| who passed the baby without breaking
into that smile. and I'll prove it II you
doubt me by taking you along with ms
on my next trip.
And as I came back. seeing Other
babies out in their carriages. watched
them, and saw that they, too. at
tracted the smiles and mods of thu
! passing women. So 1t was not the su.
perlative beauty OF my kid. Womer
are solid on the baby question; the love
for the little ones is right on tap In
their hearts. and don't think the
president need worry concerning tn
suicide Of the race"
