SELECTS THEATER FOR
 ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE
Stella Fisk Boyle Drinks Carbolic Acid But May
 Not Die.
Tn a fit of despondcncy while watch.

Tn a fit of despondcncy while watch ing the motion pictures at Keeney' $ thoater this afternoon Stella Fisk Boyle, wife of John Boyle, attempted suicide by taking carbolic acid. Some of the poison entered her system, but not sufficient to end her life as she planned. Her mouth was painfully burned. She was removed to the New Britain General hospital and there it is expected that she will make a com- plete recovery.
 I'm discouraged and want to die. Call a doctor and send for the police ambulance" said Mrs. Boyle to Mar Garet McMahon, daughter of r. $. Me- MahOn, owner of the theater, who en- tered the dressing room just as Mrs. Boyle drank from cup. The MCMahOn girl called Dr. VOlkenheim and notiti ed some of the house attendants and they cared for her. Dr. Volkenheim ad- nlinistered 1metics and it is believed that most of the poison was thereby removed.
 Mrs. Bovle' had been observed sitting in the theater during the showing of a film. She left the theater and it is be- Heved that while she was out she pur- chased the acid. When she returned she went at once to the dressing room and Miss McMahon followed her a few minutes later.
 Mrs. Boyle is about 25 years old.
