JENNIE TRIED TO JUMP
Attempted Suicide of Young Woman
Who Was Sentenced for Shoot
ing Charles NJ. Sanford.

New York, May 19.-Jennie Blunt.
the young woman who yesterday was
sentenced to four years in the peni-
tertiary by Judge Dixie in Brooklyn
for shooting Charles n. Sanford, a
lawyer. came very near cheating the
law today. She was found unconscious
in her cell from inhaling gas. Her
life was saved by prompt action of a
physician.
When Jennie was sentenced yester-
day after as scathing an arraignment
as ever had been given a woman in q
Brooklyn court. she declared that she
would kill herself rather than serve
the sentence. Early today a matron
passing her cell detected the Odor OF
gas. The prisoner was found lying on
her cot unconscious, a tube from an
open gas jet clenched between her
teeth.
Jennie Blunt shot Mr.. Stanford last
February. declaring he had had mis-
treated her. Sanford hung between
life and death for weeks. but finally
recovered. He denied the charge made
against him. She was convicted, and
In imposing sentence Judge Dixie de-
nounced her as the most dangerous
type of blackmailer. who failing in her
attempt to extort money, would have
pursued her victim to his death.
