FINDS HUSBAND
OVERCOME BY
POISON
Mrs. E. c. Brewer Says Mate
Told Her He Had Taken
BichIoride Tablets.

Grovelling on the floor in the baee-
ment of his home, Ernest c. Brewer,
thirty-three, father of six children,
was found by his wife late yesterday.
He was rushed to the Casualty hospi-
tai by Mrs. Percy Roberts, of East
Washington Park, and physicians
said that his condition was serious.
Questioned by the police, Mrs.
Brewer said that her husband told
her he had taken six bichloride of
mercury tablets. As she discovered
him half an hour after they were
alleged to have been taken there is
some hope on the part of the attend
ing physicians that the poison may
nave been partially forestalled by
prompt medical attention.
Mrs. Brewer said that she could
give no reason why her husband
should take poison. She said that
she had no intinIation thar he had
taken any until she found him in
the basement. The Brewers live at
415 Minnesota avenue southeast.
