TAKES POISON IN CELL
Prisoner at the Station House Swa!-
lows Five Tablets of Bi-Chloride o.
Mercury.

Among the prisoners brought be.
fore the Police Court this morning
was a young man named Eugene
Hicks. who was charged with non-snp-
MORT of his wife and three small chill
lren. His arrest had been made al
the instance of his wife, who produced
written guarantee from the deien-
dant when he deserted her that ha
would nav her s35 per month for the
maintenance of herself and little ones.
Che said he had defaulted in paying
This amount. When asked why he DID,
serted his family, the accused replied
that it was impossible to live with ms
wife. The complainant, in reply 70
the charge, alleged that her husband
was keeping company with another
woman. and that that precipltated the
trouble.
The court supposed that a coniprc-
mise might be effected and that the
Young couple would probably live TO-
getier again, but both complainant
and defendant seemed to be inexorab'e.
and finally Hicks was ordered to fulfill
his obligation tby paying SD per
north to the wife. He was, however.
told he must get some responsible
nerson to become his surety in order
that the payments might be made
promptly.
He was ordered to.be held suf-
icient time until he could make ar
rangements to pay his wife the amouE;
he had guaranteed. Hicks's father
later appeared, but he. not owning any
| real estate, it was supposed his mott
or, who does, would come to the sons
rescue. Should no one appear in ms
behalf he was told that later in tie
day he would be fined $50, and in the
event of failure to pay this assess
mcnt he would be sent to jail fo;
ninety DAYS, or sent on to the grand
jury.
After having been locked up short
time the officers at the station house
discovered that he had swallowed five
! tablets of bi-chloride of mercury, fron1
which he was suffering greatly. Sc:
eeant Wilkinson sent him to the Alex,
andria Hospital as quickly as posi-
BILE. His condition is thought to h
serious.
