THREE DEATH TRIALS,
REPENTS EACH Time
Carpenter, Afflicted With Sum-
mer Madness, Still in
Love With Life.

NEW YORK. July "A. H. Brown, a
sixty-year-old carpenter of 121 West 41st
street. was taken from there to Bellevue
Hospital last night with bad knife wounds
in his throat and across one wrist. The
wounds were self-inflicted, and the car
penter admitted that he had been trying
to kill himself ever since Wednesday.
First he cut his throat Then the desire
to die gave way to a sudden dread of
death, and he 'sewed up his own wounds,
only to slash his wrist Thursday, when
he found that the wound in his neck was
fairly we'll healed Yesterday he bought
a bottle of carbolic acid and took it to
Central Park to drink. He lost his cour-
age and threw the bottle in the lake.
Brown declared that his suicidal mania
had come upon him when a debtor refused
to pay 81 which he owed him and threat
ened also to do him up" The carpenter
said he had determined to do himself
up" He was put in the psychopathic
ward In Bellevue after his wounds had
been dressed.

Walked to Police Station.

Brown had bandage around his neck
and one around his wrist. His face was
pale and his appearance SO frightened
Vossler that he ran into the street and
got Policeman Heuck of the Tenderloin
station. At first Brown refused to admit
the policeman. but finally did let him in
and after an argument agreed to go with
him to the station.
The wounded man walked all the way
to the station. There when he removed
his collar the wound in his neck was re-
vealed. Lieut.. Mccarthy said afterward
that he didn't see how a man could live
with it. let alone walk about as though
he were not hurt.
Brown talked freely Of his efforts to
sor n' waik after cutt,nS his throat and
sewing It up again. and how that night
he had bought q bottle OF whisky which
he drank before going to bed. He said
the whisky made him sleep we'll through
out the night
The Bellevue doctors think they may
pull Brown through despite his self-in-
fiicted injuries.

periods of partial insanity each summer
for the last twenty years, since he had
his skull fractured in railway accident.
It was the daughters and Claren-e Voss-
Ter, a son-in-law, who had Brown sent to
the hospital.
The daughters went to Vossler's home
in Cedarhurst, l.. l., three days ago. when
their father first began to act strangely.
