WOMAN TRIES TO
LEAP FROM WINDOW
Mortified by Publicity Of Much

Gibson Attempts Suicide.

When she learned that her intention
to enter suit for divorce from her
present husband in order to remarry
her first husband, had become public.
Mrs. Nellie Atchison, who has figured
tilted that she attempted to commit
suicide Friday night by jumping from
the window of her room in the third
story of the house at 1911 East Frank
lin. where she resides with her grand
mother. Only the violence of restrain-
ing hands prevented her from accom-
plishing her purpose. She was at last
quoted, and has apparently given up
her intention of self-destruction.
Mrs. Atchison will sue for divorce
through her attorney. Magistrate g.
w. Thomas, of Henrico county. who
says that he will file the necessary
papers as soon as possible. and who
confirms the story of the attempt at
suicide. Atchison was conyicted OF
forging lunch tickets at the Richmond
Locomotive Works. and was sentenced
TO two years in the penitentiary.,

But her martial troubles we're not

to the pententiary. Seeing the plight
of the youpg girl who had once been
his wife, the first husband came for
ward again and wooed where he had
spurned before. A bright-ayed baby
girl of three summers has played no
little part in uniting her estranged
parents, and a second marriage for
her sake will probably be the happy
climax of this much tangled love af-

No doubt was expressed by members
of the family as to the cause of the

that he must have slipped just as he

ACCUSING GIRL
But Miss Leighton Could Not
Positively Identity Any of Men
At Boarding-House

Miss Bessie Leighton, OF No. 1888
North Twenty-ninth Street. who was
sandbagged Saturday night week
ago, while on her way home across
a lonely field, stated to her two sis
tiers on Wednesday that she had seen
on the porch of boarding house near
by the man who had assaulted her.
Policemen Folkes and Wiley were at
once notified and, together they went
to the place. All the men were
brought to the porch. Then one Of the
officers escorted Miss Leighton over.
and the boarders were lined up before
her. She examined each intently, and
then stated to the two officers that
she could not positively identify any
one of them. Afterward,c however she
said that one of them looked very
her in the field, butt she would not be
positive.
The. man who owns and runs the
boarding house, told the two officers
that only one Of his boarders was
missing and that he had left on the
Monday preceding the assault. Having
once been county officer himself. he
said he would be only too glad to help
find the assailant, and promised the
police all the aid lie could afford them.
No further steps have been taken
since in this case, but the police will
work on it until all hope of finding
the guilty man is gone.
