ILL HEALTH CAUsE OF SUICIDE
HillsbOrO Woman Ends Life With
Paris Green Poison

This community was surprised last
Saturday to learn that Mrs. Adam
Depez had taken a quantity of Paris
green in an attempt at suicide and
which caused her death Saturday
night. The lady had been very de-
spondent for some time over i'll health
with no hope of improvement. While
her husband was cleaning off snow
from the sidewalk in front of their
home Saturday morning she took two
teaspOOnfuls of Paris green, and when
Mr.. Deprez entered the house he was
mortified to learn what had taken.
place. He Immediately summoned
medical aid and every endeavor was
made to get the poison out of the wo-
mans stomach, but she had taken it
on an empty stomach and death fol-
lowed some fourteen hours later.
Mr. and Mrs Deprez moved to Hills
boro from Bloom City last spring.
They retired from farm life due to
Mrs. Deprez' failing health and ex-
peeted to spend the balance of their
lives away from hard work. She
spent several weeks recently in Mil
waukee Sanitarium but the treatment
seemed to do her little good. 1t is
thought her affection preyed upon her
mind as to unbalance her mentally,
and only sympathy and not censure
IS expressed concerning her action
