 Daley Seeks Suicide

Celebrating Christmas too strenu- ously led Lawrence J. Daley of Warehouse Point to suicide in a room at the Drew Hotel, Crescent avenue. yesterday afternoon. He was found tn a semi-conscious condition by other inmates of the hotel a few moments after his attempt to end his life.
 The Emergency hospital was noti- fed and pr. Harry Weiss of the Emergency staff responded. In con- versation with the doctor Daley stated after he had been taken to Emergency hospital for treatment that he had been drinking, and could remember nothing. of his rash at- tempt.
 He used 6 shirt about one of the bed posts, making a moose for his head. His groans attracted the mo- tice of other persons in the hotel to his room. He said that just previous to hanging himself he had drank one half pint of gin and the same amount of whiskey. His condition is not serious.
