cut his throat with an old-fashioned
razor. He then walked to the bath
room, which adjoins his sleeping apart

profusely. He then returned to his bed
room and lay down on the bed, con-
cealing the razor beneath the covers.
When his roommate entered the room

covered with blood. Blood was spat-
tered over the walls and carpets, while
his under garments were saturated
with it,
He was at once taken TO the receiv-
ing hospital, where it was found that
more than twenty cuts had been made
