FATHER
TRIES SUICIDE
AT JAMESTOWN

jamestown, n. D., April 26,--John
7aign, who Is on trial here for Incest,
on complaint OF his 1s-year- old
daughter yesterday endeavored to COM
NIT suicide by cutting his throat in
two places. He is lying at the point
of death now at local hospital.
The attempted suicide took place at
5 O'Clock in a hotel in town, where
the preliminary examination was being
conducted to give an opportunity to
the son Of Haign to testify. The son
is sick with pneumonia and could not
be moved 10 the courtroom, so the
court went TO the boy AS the hearing
progressed Haign excused himself and
left the room. within two minutes he
was found by the deputy sheriff with
desperate gashes in both sides Of his
neck, from which the blood was spurt-
ing in cascades. The hearing was i'm
medistely adjourned. and the man N'as
taken, to the hospital.
The crime for which Haign is being
held is particularly revolving one, and
was brought to light by State Humane
Officer Blake to whom the girl, who is
scarcely 16 years old, made complaint.
She alleged that her father had been
treating her improperly since last De-
cember, and her testimony Is corrob-
grated by that of her brother, who
slept in the adjoining room.
1t appears that Haign has been sep
arated from his family for some years,
and that his wife is now in Norway.
The boy and girl met their father in
Minnesota last fall after the long sep
aration, and the three came to James
town, where the father obtained work
as a laborer, and the family lived at
local rooming and boarding house.
The girl is an intelligent and beau
tiful young woman, and local parties
are endeavoring to find suitable home
for her, among proper influences.
1t is believed that upon recovery of
the father, the state will prosecute him,
in addition to the offenss with which he
now stands charged. for attempted
suicide.
