W0ULD-BE SUICIDE SAYS JEALOUSY WAS
 CAUSE OF HER ACT

Draining more than half the con tents of a two-ounce vial containing pure carbo1ic acid, Mrs. Dorothy J. HilI wife of L. J. HiII a moving pie ture theater pianist, attempted suicide this morning in bath room at SS CourtIand street. Her mouth, lips and chin were terribly burned by the acid but quick medical treatment by Dr. Beaudry, emergency hospital am buIaI1ce surgeon, is. believed to have prevented fatal results. She IS at St. Vincentss hospital and will recover, the surgeons say, barring complica- tions.
 The woman fought off the attempts made to save her, pulling the stomach pump out of her mouth. It was neees- sary for Dr.. Beaudry, Chauffeur Bur lison and MT. Hill to hold her down while medical attention was given. Even then she struggled and refused to go to a hospital She was removed by force.
 She said that she might be saved this time but that she would make the attempt again and would use a re- vo1ver the next time. pr. Beaudry was informed that she had attempted suicide just before leaving Scranton Pa. three weeks ago by taking chlor- idle of mercury.
 Jealousy was ascribed by her as the cause. She also said that there had been domestic troubles during kher three years of married life but did not ex- plain what they were, saying that it would not be understood.
