from Razor Wound

RUTLAND, June 4. - Robert Ross,
an employee of the city water depart
ment, made q second attempt to kill
himself yesterday afternoon while in
bed at the Rutland hospital A nurse
who was beside him at the time, assist
ed by others, prevented him from doing
so.
He had torn off the bandages and
ripped open many of the stitches which
closed wound in his neck reaching
from ear to ear The attending physi-

hin recovery.

result of the death of his wife about
six months ago. Last Friday night he

and, after weakening the occupants,
Mr. and Mrs. John Moulden, he ran in
to another room where he slashed his
throat with a razor. He partially sew
Iered his windpipe and cut several large
veins.
