the Grace hospital that the condition of
owen A. Garnsey was slightly improv-
ed and hopes of his recovery are now
entertained. AS was stated in this paper
Garnsey, who was formerly Yale stu
dent, has twice within three days, tried
to take his own life by means of poison,
his last attempt of Tuesday night be-
ing nearly successful. When he re-
covers enough to talk he will undoubt-
eddy have considerable to explain.
The physicians at the hospital stated
that the poison, bichloride of mercury
which Garnsey took, would not prove
fatal, but his stomach was in such a
weakened condition from the stomach
pumping on two occasions that a
hemorrhage might cause death -
The young woman who was with
owen Garnsey on each of the two &C.
casions when he attempted suicide is
Miss Lulu Toole of 936 State street, an
employe of the Strouse, Adler & Co.,
corset makers. She is attractive, and
was sent by the corset company to St.
Louis to demonstrate at the recent ex-
position.
Miss Toole in discussing the affair
yesterday said: "Mr. Garnsey tele-
graphed met to meet him at the depot
Sunday evening. We drove in car
riage from there. He purchased the BIZ
chloride of mercury tablets in a drug
store on Chapel street, near State

street DR.. Lindsey advised me to hur-
ry Mr.. Garnsey to the New Haven hos

was stubborn and would not stay in
the hospital. Later in the evening he
called here Miss Toole's home).

pital this morning and think he will
come out all right. i don't know any
reason why he should try to commit
suicide. He said nothing at either time
when he took the tablets
Miss TooIe would express no opinion
as to what might be the cause of the
young mans conduct. when question
ed on this point she fatty refused to
say anything further than that she did
not know what the reasons were. She
said she thought his family relations
were perfectly harmonious. She said
he did not ask her to take any of the
poison and said there were no reasons
why she should be at all responsible for
his conduct. +.

in the scientific department. 1t is said

greatly worried over the welfare of the
young man.
