WOMAN, LONESOME, IN
 ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE
Found Unconscious From Gas in Booth Street
 Home

Despondent, 1t is believed. because Of her delicate condition which was aggravated by loneliness, Mrs. Freda Roy, aged 26, of 93 Booth street at tempted suicide at her home last night and in all probability would have succeeded but for the arrival at 10:30 o'clock of her brother-in- law, Eugene Roy, who found her on the floor before the gas stove, the four jets being wide open and the windows and doors In the kitchen being tightly closed.
 Mrs. Grenski, who lives on the floor below the Roy tenement, heard the commotion as Roy entered the unlighted kitchen and made the dis covery and she notified Dr. William F. Flanagan. who had Mrs. Roy taken to New Britain General hos- pital and notified Officer John O'Keefe.
 Mrs. Roy's husband is on the night force at the Stanley Works and was summoned to the hospital. Officer O'Keefe learned that the woman has been acting strangely for the past three weeks. She is not acquainted in New Britain and has been breeding over her condition, according to her brother-in-law.
 Mrs. Roy was said this morning to have spent fairly comfortable night at the hospital, and her recovery Is anticipated.
