J SISTERS, TO SAVE
THIRD, TRY SUICIDE
Here from France Three Weeks,
Dive Into Brighton Surf
Police Make ReScues.

The Misses Molle and Laura Msllet,
sisters. who arrived in this country
three weeks ago from Cognsc, France,
tried 10 commit suicide at l0:30 last
night by jumping off the bulkhesd near
the bathing houses at Brighton Beach.
They were discouraged because they
had found few opportunities to give les
sons in French and music in this new
country. They were also thinking OF
their other sister. Irma, lying i'll in
France, and they knew that with both
Of them out of the way she would have
more money to help her regain her
health.
They had been staying on Beach
Road, Great Neck, i. /. Despondent
and seeking some sort of diversion,
they went to Brighton yesterday after
noon, spent several hours on the board
walk and arranged their suicide pact
at the table over their frugal supper.
If Patrolman James Norton, of The
Coney Island precinct, had not had his
eyes open they might have carried out
their plan, for the tide was running
out TO sea and the night was dark.
He heard the sisters talking Of their
plan as they approached the bulkhead.
When they jumped into the ocean. be
blew his police whistle and jumped
in after them. Patrolman Joseph
Welch came running to the bulkhead,
peered down into the dark rollers, and
saw that Norton had reached the two
women but could not bring them in
against the tide. Welch plunged in
and relieved Norton of one of his
burdens. The policeman fought hard
against the waves in bringing the two
unconscious sisters TO the beach where
DR.. Mensch, of Coney Island Hospital,
was on hand with a pulmoter.
After he had worked over them for
an hour the sisters were resuscitated
sufficiently to permit their removal to
Coney Island Hospital. They will be
arraigned in the Coney Island police
court this morning on the charge of at
tempted suicide if they are able to
leave the hospital. Both of the sisters
sneak English fiuently.
