Made Very Sure of Death.

Deciding to end his life the other
day, Thomas McManus of Philadel-
phia made elaborate preparations to
ensure his death by inhaling gas. He
took a bed sheet, and making hole
in it he tied it with piece of string
to the gas Jet in the room. Then he
gathered the four ends of the sheet,
and with another piece of twine he
tied it around his neck. He then
turned on the gas and threw himself
on his bed The gas flowed into Nc
Manus' improvised balloon and he was
probably suffocated in few seconds.
