TWO SLASHES
AT HIS THROAT
Failed to End Life Of Angelo
AmbrOzina
ALTH0 BADLY WOUNDED
He Had Not Been Acting Just Right
Lately-He Is a Granite Cutter
and Is 81 Years Of
Age.

Angelo Ambrozini lies in a serious
condition at his rooms in the A. Tomasi
block as the result of an attempt at
suicide by cutting his throat last night.
The attempt was nearly successful, as
the man had lost great quantity OF
blood when be was discovered and before
surgical aid was brought. A temporary
arrangement is believed to have been
the cause.
The man was discovered by Mrs. Bar
bara Remlinger, of whom Ambrozini
rents room. Mrs. Remlinger was pass
ing his door just after seven o'clock
last evening and thought that she heard
the sound Of groans coming from his
room. She listened for a moment and
as the sounds continued she opened the
door and there grisly sight met her
eyes. Upon the floor lay the form of
Ambrozini weltering in pool Of blood
which had flowed from two ghastly cuts
in his throat, and beside him laid the
razor with which the deed was commit
ted
Although frightened, Mrs, Remlinger
did not lose her presence Of mind and
Immediately ran into the hallway and
meeting boy sent him to notify the
police. Luckily he met Officer Frank
Hamel at once and summoned him to the
room. At his first glance at the grew
some scene, the policeman thought that
the man had accomplished his end and
that he was dead
But he immediately went to the near
est telephone and called Drs. j. 4. Nc
Sweeney, 4. G. Ghidella and NJ. d. Lamb,
The doctors arrived soon and found that
two firghtful cuts extended across Am
brozini's throat, almost severing the
trachea whore it joins the larynx.
Luckily the keen edge of the razor did
not quite reach the jugiIlar vein: other
wise, he would have been dead by the
time that he was discovered The
wounds were sewed up and dressed and
the doctors stated that bis chances of
recovery were good
Apparently the man had sat in chair
when he did the slashing, as, when found.
he lay beside the chair, and in front
Of it was q cuspidor full Of blood He
had drawn the razor across his throat
and then deliberately sat there watching
the life fluid run into the cuspidor until
he fell from the chair in sheer weak
ness. Not only was the cuspidor full,
but there was big pool of blood on
the foor..
Ambrozini is granite cutter and
about 80 years of age. He was em-
ployed until about week ago at Gui-
diei Brothers granite plant. but since
that time he had not been working. His
friends say that he he'd been acting
rather morose for week or more, and
that he would not speak to them. IT
Is said that he had not been drinking
lately, but there were stories of alleged
jealousy of another man over woman.
Ambrozini was divorced from his wife
about three years ago, but his separation
from her did not seem to affect his spir-
its at all. Occupants of the block say
they heard him walking up and down
in his room for several hours before the
deed was committed.
At about the time that he was slash
ing bis throat, two men were trying to
locate him, having been warned BY Am
cousin in Milford, N. IT,, that
Angelo was perhaps not just right men
tally. Angelo had written letter to
the cousin in Milford, and the contests
were so wandering and incoherent that
suspicious were aroused. The cousin
asked friends in this city to look him
up and see what the trouble was. These
two friends went to the former board
ing. place of Anbrozini in the north
part Of the city and was there inform
ed that the man had left about two
weeks before and that he was at pres
ent rooming in building on Main
street. So, not knowing Just where to
look, the two searchers gave up further
search until to-day. Meanwhile the OBJ
lsct of their search had tried to do
