Himself by Taking Biehloridss
of Mercury.

A man who gave the name Of r.
Hughes is at the Pensacola hospital
In a critical condition from taking BIZ
chloride Of mercury yesterday morn
ing. He was employed az an insurance
collector, and gave 319 North Guile
marde street as his local address. His
home is in Rome. Ca, and he gave
Mrs. II. B. Hughes, care Of Model
school, Rome. Ga, az his permanent
address.
At. 10 o'clock B. w. Windham, pro-
prietor Of the Windham Drug company
"a North Palafox street, notified the

his place. Officer Eilertson was de-
tailed to make an investigation and

istered medical aid. He was later re-
moved to the hospital.
The man did not seem to want to

nor can any reason for his attempted
suicide be uneathed. No communica-
ton has yet been received from the
foreign address which he gave at the

suffering considerably from the effects
of the poison, which would have
brought on immediate death II he had
