Shows Insanity Board
He Can Hang Himself
Without Any Danger

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. II. - When
Nick Ruby was brought up before the
insanity board here, he proved to the
board that he could hang himself
without suicidal intent. To do this
Ruby took the men to his home and
re-enacted the near-tragedy. He
showed the officers how he fixed the
moose in such manner that it could do
no great harm, how he deposited a
butcher knife within reach for rescu-
ing himself should his scheme fail
and, with the stage all set, how he
dispatched a neighbor to call his wife
so that she could witness the hang
ing. He was acquitted OF the charge
of attempted self-murder.
