according to her husband, at
tempted for the sixth time to
end her life at their apartment
at 14O1 Buchanan st. N. W., was
reported out of danger at Calm

Albert Hall, the husband, re-
ported more than week ago

intended to return home. She re-
fused, her husband said, to tell
where she had been.
When she reached home last
night, Hall said, she announced
her intention of going to the
home of her parents in Knox
vile, Tenn, and when he said
that he would accompany her,
she rushed into the kitchen and
slashed herself on the arm with
a knife.
The husband gave his blood at
the University Hospital short
time after the alleged suicidal
attempt. Mrs. Hall, according to
physicians at Gallinger, is resting
comfortably.
