WEEPS WHEN
ATTEMPT TO
DIE FAILS
Girl Takes Poison After Tilt
With Aunt Sister Died
by Own Hand.

Disappointed in her attempt to take
her own life this morning, Jennie Cor
son, II years old, of Sc Alpine street,
wept bitterly ia st. Barnabas's Hos
pital an hour after her attempt, and
begged to be allowed to die. The girl
will recover from the effects of a dose
of oxalic acid taken in a fit of anger
in the home of her aunt, Mrs. Jennie
Ross, with whom she lived.
The would-be suicide will, in all prob
ability, recover, and will be arrested
and taken to the First Precinct sta
ton as soon as she is able to leave the
hospital. She will be arraigned on a
charge of attempting to commit sui
eide.
The Corson girl had been ans inmate
of the Home of the Friendless for over
two years and until six weeks ago,
when her pleadlngs to be taken out
of that institution so affected her aunt
that the girl was given her freedom
and taken to her aunt's home to live.
In her new home the girl at first ex-
hibited no signs of being unhappy,
though her aunt says she proved to be
very headstrong of late and did not
want to do as directed. She usually
stayed in the house and had not been
interested in any love affair as far
as the aunt knew.
Lately the girl became more obdu-
rate. her aunt declares. This morning
at s o'clock Mrs. Ross asked her to
get ready to accompany her to the
shopping section of the city. This plan
did not meet with the girls approval
apparently, as she went to a room IN
the upper part Of the house and re-
manned there for some time. Her aunt
waited below, thinking that her niece
was getting ready to accompany her,
but instead she sat in a chair sulking.
Mrs. Ross admonished the girl, telling
her to hurry down stairs.
The Corson girl followed her. and
then went into the bathroom. A few
minutes later her aunt found her lying
on the fioor and a bottle, almost empty,
was by her side. The girl was uncon-
scious and appeared to be in great
distress.
Realizing at a glance hat the girl
had attempted to a k her own life,
Mrs. Ross sent a. hurry call to the
First Precinct station. Policeman
Coonradt was sent to the house and
removed the girl to the hospital in the
ambulance. On the way to the hos
pital the girl recovered consciousness.
She admitted having attempted to take
her life, and finding that the hope of
her dying was faint, she seemed dis
appointed. At the hospital the physi-
clans told her that she would recover,
whereupon she broke down and cried
bitterly.
Jennie told the hospital physicians
and the police that she had long g
planned to take her own life, and had
bought the acid to carry out her plan
about two weeks ago. When she was
crossed. by her aunt this morning
she was more determined than ever
to take her own life.
Mrs. Ross says that a few years ago
a sister of the girl committed suicide
by taking carbolic acid. The parents
Of Jennie corson are living somewhere
in Newark, though neither the daugh-
ter nor her aunt know just where.
The physicians say that the girl will
be able to leave the hospital in a few
days.
