AT SUICIDE
GIVEN UP BY O'BRIEN

Michael OBrien attempted suicide IN
Pawtucket yesterday in the the Mos
hassuck river. which runs along back
of the Hope webbing company on Main
street, Pawtucket, but evidently the
plunge into the water was too cold Tor
him and he found IL impossible TO put
his head under water and hold IL there
for he waded ashore after few min
utes. =
Men from the Webbing company ran
to the river, but found they were not
called upon to take dead body from
the stream OBrien tried to keep his
head under water, but soon gave up the
attempt, the river being only about 21s
feet deep. He waded about for time
and went through the swamp that lies
near by, finally coming TO dry ground:
BY shis tine the patrol wagon appeared
on the scene and the police took the
man to the station.
CITY Physician Richards was called
and he found that O'Brien was suffering
slightly from mental arrangement and
that he was also very nervous and
chilled from his cold bath.
1t was noticed that there was
severe cash on his neck and O'Brien
said that he had attempted to take his
life on Monday evening by using
razor
O'Brien claims to live in this city
