Desire to End Life

mates desire of self destruction.
TELLS CONFLICTING STORIES
The young ward is Frank Reid 13
years old, supposed to be a runaway
from an eastern reformatory. The lad
was found at the Sixteenth street
Southern Pacific station last night by
Patrolman Riley. When queried by the
policeman, Reid said first that his par
ents were killed in the Iroquois theater
disaster in Chicago. Then Reid de-
clared both parents were living in
Indiana.
The discrepancy led the patrolman
to remark that Reid belonged to the
Juvenile branch of the Ananias club.
whereupon the boy invited his captor
to come into the baggage room and
have his block knocked off,"
The boy was locked in cell. Early
this morning he evinced his suicidal
bent by climbing to flush pipe cross
ing the ceiling and twisting a chain
around his neck. HeIleaped out and
pulled down the pipe, flooding the cell
floor with water.
ATTEMPTS TO HANG SELF
Reid was then transferred to one
of the tanks. First he tried suicide
again by hanging himself with a piece
OF cloth. The rag was taken away
from him, and he waited until the
jailer was out of sight when Reid tore
up the board floor in an attempt to
find an avenue of escape.
Then the Swedish prince was en-
listed into the trusty's ranks. Young
Reid was put in Vretman's cell, and
while Vretman, after protesting, said
he would care for the youngster, he
asked for silence He got none On
the contrary, the boy was talkative.
and Vretman was morose, and twice
the prince appealed to the police to
restrain his cellmate's gossiping. SO
that the royal prisoners melancholy
musings might not be broken.
Vretman also refused to talk to re-
porters or police about his own plight
When questioned again about his re-
puted friendship for a fair San Fran
cisco belle, Vretman declined to reply.
MY attorney has told me not to
talk was his only statement. vret-
mans case will be called in the police
court Monday.

JUDGE HARRIS UPHOLDS
TREATMENT FOR INSANITY
Mrs. Lillian A. Wrinkle to Con-
tinue at Receiving Hospital

OAKLAND. May 11.-Testimony given
before Judge Harris today convinced
him that there were sound reasons un-
derlying the detention of Mrs. Lillian
A Wrinkle Of Alameda for insanity
when she had an infant two weeks old.
DR.. H NJ Pond said that she was
undoubtedly insane, but there was
every indication that she would re-
cover within a few weeks if given
proper care. Doctor Pond said that
Mrs Wrinkles home. in the absence Of
her husband on voyage, afforded no
facilities for her treatment, as her con-
dition demanded quiet, good nursing
and the best OF medical attention.
Fe. said that he had advised Mrs.
Winkle's mother to have her placed in
the care OF the county on the ground
that she would be properly attended.
Judge Harris continued the hearing
until Monday and Mrs. Wrinkle is being
treated with a private nurse at the
receiving hospital.
