TRIES SUICIDE IN COURT.
Young Woman Takes Poison to Keep
From Testifylng.

Cambridge, Md, May s.Miss Hazel
B. TOPPER, principal witness Tor her
mother, Mrs. Annie 4. TOPPER
against Avery Todd Malone IN the
damage suit for alleged seduction
attempted suicide by swallowing
several biehloride of mercury tablets
while sitting at the trial table IN the
I Courthouse here today.
The girl had a dozen or more Oh
the tablets in her hand. She was
prevented from swallowing the
others by the prompt action OF those
near her, who grasped her arms
ard took the tablets from her.
The attempt at suicide was made
just before the case, which had been
removed from Wicomico county, was
called for trial. The courtroom was
crowded and the first witness was
on the stand when Miss TOPPER
quickly put several of the tablets IN
her mouth ard swallowed them.
She reeled in her chair and those
nearest her went to her assistance
Just as they reached her the girl at
tempted to raise the other hand tc
her mouth, but was prevented. When
her clenched fingers were forced
open a dozen or more tablets were
| found.
Miss TOPPER soon became nausea
ted. Physicians were summoned ant
she was removed to the hospital
where emetics and stomach pump
were applied. Although very weak
the girl is expected to recover.
Miss TOPPER is said to have bee!
! Inundated. because of the suit, ana
her act is thought to have beer
caused by hysteria. To one of the
attending physicians she is said tc
have stated that she would die soon
e. than testify against Malone.
The attempted suicide caused tht
Malone case to be abandoned for
while, as the officials Of the cour
ard spectators awaited word from
the hospital.
1t was later resumed and most Of
tie evidence was presented before
court adjourned for the day.
A letter was submitted written b.
Miss TOPPER 10 Malone in which sh
said she did not blame him AM
that her mother was responsible TO
the suit being prosecuted.
Malone was fined at Salisbury sew
cral weeks ago for contempt o
court for having removed Miss Top
fer from the jurisdiction of the WI
ccmico court.

MODERN
CROESUSES.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch
says:
..The Alexandria Gazette remarks
that few men in this world who
have amassed colossal fortunes by
their industry and genius escape the
:. solent cry of "taintedr money and
,aat sit may be safely said that
the, are thousands of people in
,,. world who would not make as
r,," Use of immense fortunes as
ckefeller, Mr. Carnegie and
IS"
"All of this is true, but does the
Gazette believe that any man has
ever amassed colossal fortune sole
" by industry and genius and does
l. believe that amy man can measure
u to the responsibility of its po-
session? With cries against lndl-
viduals just because they are veal
Thy, reasonable men have no sympa-
thy, but. that is not to say that the
ACQUISITION and possession OF swol-
len fortunes have been the cause OF
more good than evil"
The Gazette was not attempting TO
apologize for some persons who nave
not made good use Of their money,
but simply mentioned two who are
most generally condemned in our
day. We never adopted the views OF
Jerry Simpson and others to the
effect that sin entered the world via
Wall street, but have often thought
that the burden Of riches brings its
sorrows. Young Mr.. Rockefeller Is
being hunted by murderous fanatics
al this present moment, while ms
fathers country home is ablaze with
powerful arc lights and special OF
ficers patrol all approaches to the
house. &C..
We once heard minister say at
ter reading the words, "Woe to yor
that are RICH" that for years he hat
thought objects Of this attack were
those only who are. rich; but in his
later days he was convinced 1t ap'
plicd also to others who were all ths
time enying the opulent. If the muir
murers and complainerS Of thl:

would wind up as the prodigal son
