QUICK WORK SAVES HER LIFE
Plainfield Girls Attempt to Com.
NIT Suicide Thwarted.
Doris Knapp, II Years Of Age, Admits
Eating Corrosive sublimate Tablet
and Ii Rushed to a Hospital
for Treatment.

Doris Knapp, girl II years of age,
whose home is in Plainfield. attempted to
commit suicide on Main street Saturday
evening when she ate a corrosive subli-
mate tablet Her action was discovered,
however. and quick work at the Mary
Fletcher hospital is thought to have
saved her life. her condition Sunday night
being favorable.
The girl first came to the notice of the
police when she entered the police station
ABOUT $50 o'clock. She went into the sta
ton and walked out without waiting to
converse. A short time later she went to
MCKEE Alpert, a hackman, who was
AT the time on the stand at City Hall
PARK. Handing him a paper, she asked
MIN to deliver 1t to a policeman. Alpert
opened the piece of wrapping paper and
read the following note:
II am going to take poison this evening
but don't try to save my life as I am
ready to die"
Alpert saw a small bottle in one Of her
hands and became alarmed and asked her
to go with him to the police station. This
she refused to do. putting the note back
into a silk bag which she was carrying.
Alpert notified George Fraser. the police
officer on that beat. who found her on
Main street. He asked her for the bottle
ana as she gave 1t to him she told him
that he was too late as she had already
| eaten one Of the tablets.
The girl was taken into the police sta
ton and Dr. F. w. Baylies summoned.
While there she became i'll and was taken
in the patrol to the Mary Fletcher hospi-
tai. A stomach pump and antidotes were
used with effect and it is thought that she

Of limelieht variety. About two months
ago she was found on the street at Mont
pelier in an unconscious condition. She
was taken to Heaton hospital. where she
was treated. She is the daughter Of L. L.
