TWO UNFORTUNATES, TIRED
OF LIFE, ATTEMPT SUICIDE
Charles Lmamotti and Valentine Pla-
ger Are Found With Their
ThrOatS Cut.

Two unfortunates, believing that a
further battle against adversely would
prove futile, yesterday endeavored by
the use of knives to cut short their
existence.
Charles Limamotti, at one time a
prosperous ladies' tailor, was found in
bed in the Salvation Army lodging
house at 629 Clay street yesterday
morning with his throat cut. The
man was removed to the Central Emer-
gency Hospital, where the wound was
sewed up. The reason assigned by
Limamotti for attempting to take his
life is that he was tired of life and
considered himself better dead. He
will probably recover.
Martin PLACER, a soldier stationed
at the Presidio, was found by Patrol
man w. A. Meagher of the North End
station in the brush near the athletic
grounds with his throat cut. When
discovered the wounded man was
nearly dead from loss of blood. He
was conveyed to the General Hospital
at the Preside, where his wound was
dressed. Dependency caused him TO
make the attempt on his life.
