WOMAN SWALLOWS
POWDERED GLASS
SADIE WAIT ATTEMPTS TO COM.
NIT SUICIDE WHILE A PRIs.
oNER At COUNTY JAIL.

Sadie Waits, an inmate Of the Wap-
clio county jail attempted to end her
life Sunday evening about 1880 in her
cell, by swallowing quantity of pow
dered glass. When discovered the
woman had taken a quantity of the
glass and physicians were Immediate
ly called and they report that the wo-
mn is rsting fairly well today and that
her recovery is very probable Mrs.
Waits came to the Jail about ten days
ago having been sent there from the
police court on thirty days sentence
for disorderly conduct.
The Jail authorities are at loss to
know where the woman secured the
glass which she had evidently pulver-
lied. Nothing of that nature is ever
allowed around the cells and the wo-
man firmly refused to tell Mrs. knox,
wife of the sheriff and Jail matron
where she had secured the glass. Mrs.
Knox says that the woman told her
this morning that she had planned the
act ever since she was committed to
the Jail and that Sunday was the first
opportunity she had had to carry out
her action. The jail matron had taken
the woman her supper at 6 o'clock and
at that time she had seemed very
cheerful and pleasant. After awhile
Mrs Knox went out leaving the house
in charge Of Miss Cecil Adamson who
lives with the family About 1880
Miss Adamson heard cry from the
direction of the Waits woman's cell
and running to her she was told what
had been done. Miss Adamson hurried
back to the telephone to call physi-
clan when Mrs Knox stepped into the
house. She was told Of the act and
the latter ran to the woman's cell.
Just as she reached the outside door
Mrs. Waits showed her a handful of
the glass and raising it to her lips, said
Here goes the rest of It," and swal-
lowed it. AS soon as Mrs. Knox could
get the'tw. doors of the cell opened
she carried the woman to another part
Of the building and called the physi-
clans.
