ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Chas. A. Cosley, a Stranger
From New Orleans, Stabbs
Himself With q Pocket.
Knife.

Tuesday afternoon about four
O'Clock Charles A. Cosley, a
young white man about IS years
of age, ATTEMPTED to commit
suicide in front of Mr.. j. G. Nick
erson's residence with a pocket
knife. He stabbed himself four
times in the breast, infiicting Sc
we're wounds. but it is not be-
|lieved they will prove fatal. He
also cut his wrist to the bone in
an effort to sever an artery, but
failed.
The strange actions of the man
caused the neighbors to call the
officers and when Deputy Peck
and Chief Chargois arrived they
found the man lying prone upon
the ground and bleeding. He
was at once taken to the Office OF
DIR. F. E. Girard. who together
with DR.. G. A. Martin gave him
the necessary attention. After
which he was taken to the city
hall, where he spent the night at
tended by the officer on duty.
While his wounds were being
attended to Cosley talked in a
ram bling way. but begged the
doctors to let him die. He gave
his residence as 3617 Constance
street, New Orleans, and said
that he had a wife and one child.
When questioned as to the
cause of his attempt at self de-
struction, Cosley answered in diff
ferent ways, intimating, how
ever, that family troubles were
responsible, but his ram bling
talk gave the impression that his
mind was affected. The follow
ing note in a fairly good hand
was found on his person:
MY Dear Mother:-It is USE
less to worry with this life long
er, and God bless you all. Tell
M. D. to see Rickley Gautier.
The Brandles does it all, but God
bless them, and whiskey the
cause. Hope those will forgive
me. I'm in debt.
Cosley came to Lafayette on
the p. 10. train Thursday.
Sheriff Lacoste communicated
with Cosley's relatives and on
their instructions sent him to
the Charity Hospital in New Or
leans, Wednesday morning.
