SLASHES THROAT
WHEN HE LOSES
JOB LONG SOUGHT
Woman Where Youth Lived
Finds Him in Room Where
He Tried to Die.

D~espondent at his failure to make q
living In a strange land, and friendless,
1S-year-old Gerscen Tinnas, who is af-
hicted with epilepsy, attempted suicide
by cutting his throat early today in his
furnished room at 7 Hillside place. He
had evidently premeditated his act, for
he used a brand new butcher knife and
left a letter written in Polish for his
uncle, addressed IL. Swiriski, ESQ
Springfield avenue
Young Gerscen, though he laid his
throat open from ear to ear, missed the
fatal jugular vein, and it is expected
at st. Barnabas's Hospital that he will
recover. 1t was necessary to, take nine
teen stitches in his throat to close the
wound.
Mrs. David Cohn, with whom Gerscen
boarded, noticed that he did not come
down to breakfast at his usual hour to-
day and she went to his room to arouse
him. She found Tinnas lying on the
floor unconscious in a pool of blood. Ter
rined by the sight she rushed to the
street and gave the alarm.
Tinnas had been engaged in a long
discouraging search for employment at
his trade az a satchel-maker, and was
at last rewarded, he thought, by obtain
ing work last week. All his hopes were
blasted on the second day, however,
when he had q fit of epilepsy and was
discharged. This fact is thought to
have driven him to try self-destruction.
