Painter, After Drinking Four
Cups of Rat Poison, Finds Life

Life is very attractive, after all, to
Benson D. Glymph, of 839 Seaboard
Avenue.
After surviving four glasses of rat
poison, which he drank Monday with
suicidal intent, and a broken neck
which the physicians a number Of
years ago were certain spelled his
death. GIymph has decided that his
time to die has not yet arrived.

Well" said Glymph to "A Georgian
reporter, who called on him Tuesday
morning at the Grady Hospital.
Glymph was still in great pain from
his attempt at self destruction, but
he was beaming and happy never
theless. His glimpse at the portals
ushering mOrtals from this life was
sufficient. He was content to stay
while longer.
Says He Was Despondent.

had been worrying because l had to
give up my business where l was
established as a scenic painter and
move to Atlanta so that my wife
could take care of her folks. So l
decided to quit this world and quit
it in a hurry.
I'm sorry now, of course, that I
made the attempt. There's a piece
of work at which I could be engaged
this very minute if l were not forced
to stay here in bed
Glymph was born at Abbeville, S.
c., 81 years ago but has spent most
of his life in Georgia. A scenic paint
er and decorator by trade, he has
painted drop curtains and other dec
orations all over the South. Fifteen
years ago, while doing some painting
at Washington, Ga, the scaffolding
Glymph was standing on broke, and
he was hurled to the ground, As feet
below. His neck was broken, but
after a nine week stay in the hos
pital Glymph was up and at work
again.
Struggles With Saviors.
Glymph and his wife moved to At
lanta several months ago, and he had
found difficulty in getting work in his
line here Coming into his room
Monday, afternoon his wife found
him drinking a glass of rat poison.
She quickly knocked it from his hand,
but he declared that he had already
drank four glasses and was going to
die
Mrs. Glymph called a physician. but
the pair could not prevail upon him
to take an antidote or allow a stOm-
aCh pump to be used.
Mpa nVbiIn OpipbborG had allied in
officers Wood and Milan, who call
ed Grady ambulance. Glymph was
rushed to the hospital and was given
heroic treatment Having worn him
self out in his struggles he was too
weak to longer resist
After a good nights rest Glymph
was better and will be up in a few
days. His only son, who lives in Au-
gusta, was urged to come to his bed
side, but has now been notified that
all danger is past.

10th inning drew a wild throw from
Otis Clymer Thursday afternoon and
Pittsburgh won four to three from
Boston. The Dutchman was on first
with two out when Miller singled 10
center. Carelessly he sauntered down
to second and as Clymer changed his
mind about hurrying the ball TO third.
Wagner sprinted for that station.
Clymer threw the ball over Devlin's
head and Honus scored the winning
run.
Mike Mitchell, ex-Red and ex-Cub,
made his Pittsburgh debut and had
two hits, one of which scored Miller
in the fourth. Hess walked the first
two men in the first inning and Wag-
ner's single with the bases full
scored both. Camnitz replaced Rob-
inson in the third and pitched nice
ball, keeping Boston's hits scattered

catch him off second hit him behind
the ear. Sweeney tripled in Boston's

caught him off third. Boston made q
