Two Unsuccessful Attempts
Made by John Fleming with
Rope OF Underwear.

Two unsuccessful Attempts to COM
nit suicide by hanging himself from
the top of the city lookup with a
rope made of. his underclothing were
made Tuesday BY John Fleming, a
platform laborer at the Baltimore and
ohio railroad freight depot. He is
now under constant surveillance
there in order 10 prevent him from
killing himself.
Fleming is an old rounder, having
been convicted in police court OF
Drunkenness more than twenty times
in the last several weeks, Monday
night he was again arrested for
Drunkenness and put In the lookup.
This spree appears to have affected
him mentally.
Shortly before noon Tuesday, Po-
llceman Shinn was attracted to the
cells of the lookup by a peculiar noise
and going into the room found Flern-
ing stripped naked and hanging from
a rope made of his undertaking in
which he had tied a moose. The po-
lIceman cut him down and managed to
revive him. Two hours or so later
Fleming made another similar at
tempt, but was detected before he
managed to stretch the moose taut-
The man was then taken from the
cell and placed in the room in which
the cells are situated. He prrsistently
refused to keep any clothing on him
and during the afternoon he lay prone
upon the door.
