at Melvin, who attempted to end
his own life by swallowing a potion
of strychnine and water, will be
the first man to be prosecuted un-

felony to attempt suicide.
Stoyell, after suffering for eight
years from an incurable disease
and wasting from a healthy. robust
man to mere skeleton, decided
that the grave was more to be pre-

of strychnine and water. There

was prepared This absorbed the
strychnine, and Stoyel was unable
