S[ASHES HIS own THROAT
Gustavus MutschaI Attempts
Suicide in Grounds of Hos
pitaI for the Insane.

Gustavus Mutschal attempted suicide
yesterday afternoon at the Government
Hospital for the Insane by cutting his
throat with razor. Several attend
ants and numerous patients were in the
grounds near where Mutschal stood when
he made the attempt and but for the
quick action on part of G. L. Law, one
Of the attendants, he probably would
have succeeded.
Mutschal. native of Germany and
fifty-nine years old, is retired
soldier While patient in the Gov
eminent Hospital for the Insane
in 1891 he attempted suicide in the mess
hall by holding bread knife against
the table and forcing it into his stomach.
Retired in 1890.
The supposed insane man was retired
from the 14th Infantry in 1890, it is
stated because OF mental disability. and
sent to the Government Hospital for the
Insane.
He was discharged from the hospital
May 90 1905. and since then resided at
Soldiers Home. He left the institution
more than two weeks ago, however, going
to Alexandria.
When the veteran was seen on the
grounds at the asylum yesterday it was
thought he had returned there for a
visit. When he was seen to slash his
throat the attendants at once concluded
his mind had again become affected. and
he was at once disarmed, a razor and
knife being taken from him
