SOUGHT HIS
Death IN
PARK LAKE

William r. Goodrich, aged II, living at
Al Stamford avenue, attempted suicide
by drowning in lake No. 3 at Roger Will
liams park late yesterday afternoon. The
purpose OF the old man was frustrated,
however. and he was pulled from the wa
ter before any serious injury had been
done TO him.
1t was about $50 o'clock when the
attempt at self-destruction was made.
James Costello. an employe at the park,
was at work on the opposite shore and
saw the old man plunge into the water
across the lake.
William H. McEroy OF ~ Thurston
street was passing near the spot at which
the suicidal attempt was made and to him
Costello shouted the warning.
Young McElroy saw the situation Mt
a glnace and plunged Immediately into the
water. caught hold of the old mans
clothing and pulled him to the shore, sus-
tanning a chilly dronching.
Meanwhile Costello had hurried along
the shore TO the scene and assisted In
drawing the soaked and shivering man
well up on the bank.
Goodrich made no effort TO resist his
rescuers but insistently declared his de-
sire to end his life. as II was no longer
to his suicidal intentions.
Patroman Applin or the Potter Ave-
nue. station was summoned and took
charge of the drcnched old man. con-
veying him shortly afterwards 10 the
station In the patrol wagon. Al the
station he was warmed and dried, re-
clothed and made comfortable. He soon
became talkative and allowed that the
police had the right idea about his In
tentions to end his life.
1t appears that for 20 years Mr.. Good
rich has been the victi mof Ill health and
self-destruction has long been running In
his mind The police communicated with
Mr.. Robert French. nephew OF Mr..
Goodrich with whom he lives. and learned
that for some time the family OF the
wouId-be suicide have exercised great
vigilance In preventing the carrying out
OF the threats OF Mr.. Goodrich. Yes
terday their vigilance was relaxed and
Mr.. Goodrich saw his chance and took
Il.
After he had sufficiently recovered from
the shock and exposure he was escorted
home by Patrolman Blood.
