HoMILLER's WOUNDS SLIGHT.
Cut Wrists Will Not Prevent His
Working Tomorrow.

Friends of Maurice Homiller, the young
city post Office clerk who cut himself Sc
verely with a pane of glass last night,
say that Homiller is not in serious con-
dition and will probably be able to re-
turn to. work tomorrow. Hom.ller is now
resting quietly at the Emergency Hospi-
tai.
Persons living at 10 10th street, where
Homiiier and his wife have rooms on
the third floor, were attracted by groans
coming from Homil.er's room last II ght.
They attempted to enter, but found the
door barricaded.
Policeman Belt was summoned. After
considerable trouble. he succeeded in
getting through the rear window of the
room
Homiller was found in sem-conscious
condition. His wrists We're badly cut
When he first reached the hospital Ho-
miller said things that indicated he had
wished to commit suicide. Later he
said, he walked. half asleep. to the win
dow and smashed the glass accidentally
Homiller's wife is confined to a hospi-
tai. If suicide was his aim, his friends
say, worrying over his wife.s condition
was probably the cause.
Homiler has an excellent record at the
post office. Iie obtained leave Monday
for one day, but did not show up either
Tuesday or Yesterday. Nothing was
heard from him until this morning, when
his fellow clerks learned that he was at
the Emergency Hospital
