LESION WOMAN WHO LEAP
ED INTO KANAWHA.

CHARLESTON, Sept. 4.-"Gooiby
Aunt Mag, you may never see me
again" With these words 10 year old
Bertha Cutlttt left the home Of her
aunt, Mrs. Asbury, on Columbia ave
nue. and in less than a minute after
ward she mounted the top of the rail-
ing of the LavelI street bridge and
hurled herself into the waters Of E;G
river. Many people Witnessed the
rash act, but there were none near
enough to prevent it. John Reveal,
who was the nearest man to the scene,
ran with all his might in an effort to
reach her but he saw that he was too
late and turned and ran to the riv-
er's brink and was the first to render
aid to her
injuries Not Fatal.
The fact that she did not receive
fatal injuries and that Charleston was
saved the shame of a third suicide
within less than two weeks was due
to good fortune alone. The place
chosen for the leap was on the upper
side of the bride almost at the west
ern bank Of the river. The woman fell
in only a few inches of water, and in
a place where the river contains sew
eral suags 1t was thought at first that
she had struck one of these snags, but
this was afterwards found not to be
the case. Unconscious when found, the
girl revived in little while and was
able to talk to the officers, who &C,
companied her to her home on Hans
ford street in the patrol wagon.
After she Rad been taken nome.
medical aid was summoned and an ex-
animation showed that her injuries
were probably slight. No bones were
broken and unless she is internally
injured, which is not believed to be
the case, she will probably recover in
short time.

converse intellIgently with any ono

MIR. straus added that counsel for
Mr.. Fischer felt constrained to ask
the court for another writ which
would absolye the defendant from all
further responsibility or liability to
answer to the court because of bis
mental state.
He said that he would, however
merely make a motion that the case
be continued until the next term.
Mr.. Laird said in reply that the

not oppose the detendant's motion
