preclude further poetic efforts by the

SHE TRIED IT AGAIN.
Mrs. J. Nj. Adams Makes second At
tempt to Kill Herself.

For the second time within the past
four months Mrs. J. NJ. Adams of $40
North Topeka avenue last night lifted
a glass partially filed with carbolic
acid to her lips and attempted to drain
it though she was prevented from do
ing so by her next door neighbor, Mrs,
Cunningham -
Mrs. Adams is the prosecuting wit
ness against her nephew, Levi Adams,
who is to be tried Monday for sending
obscene literature through the mails
to her. Brooding over this and the
fact that she had quarreled with her
husband who is fifty years of age
while she is but one year over half CT
that is given as the cause for her de-
sire to take the long trip.
After Quarreling with her husband
at the supper table she went into an
adjoining room and poured out glass
of carbolic acid and started over to see
her neighbor and make verbal viii
disposing of her earthly possessions.
She told her neighbor, Mrs. Cunning
ham, that she intended to kill herself
and asked her 20 see that her child was
placed in the orphans asylum and
that her personal effects were sent to
the home of her parents in missouri
Then she raised the glass of fiery
poison to her lips and before Mrs
Cunningham could knock the glass
from her hands had drank the greater
portion of it. DR. Rhodes was called
and responded promptly and with the
aid of the stomach pump was able to
relieve her of most of her suicidal
draught though she is severely burned
as it is and there is some question as
to her recovery.
She was taken to the hospital as
soon after taking the poison as posi-
BILE. where she has been since, and re-
ports from there this morning indicate
that she viii recover. The sky clouded
up from the viewpoint of Mrs. Adams
on the Fourth of last July and she
promptly drank an ounce or so of car
bolic acid and was only saved by the
prompt action of the doctor who was
summoned.
