Salvatore LaRosse, 40, died shortly after o'clock Monday morning at the gWindham county jail in Brooklyn. La Rosa attempted suicide by hanging ill lhis cell at the jail Saturday morning.

 LaRossa was being held for trial in the superior court on a charge of hav- Ing feleniously assaulted John Murray of the New Haven road police in the railroad yards at Putnam during the early morning hours of May 29.
