ATITIMPTED SUICIDE AT DEEPCAR. A great sensation was, created at New Hay. woods, Deepear, on Sunday morning, wher in became known that a man named Albert Broadhead, a r 2, Haywood's Park, had attempted to commit suicide. It appears. from what can be gathered, that on Sunday morning Mrs. Broadhead, who was downstairs engaged in household duties, heard a gurgling DOINe, and thinking something wa: wrong. called upstairs to her husband who was in bed, getting no reply, she with a sou and a neighbour named Harry Rodgers, proceeded up stairs, where Broadhead was discovered in bed with the bed clothes pulled up around his neck, and blood apparent!! issuing from his mouth. Mrs. Broadhead thought her husband, who suffered from bronchitis, had broken a blood vessel while coughing, and Rodgers on looking closely at the man saw beside him on the bed a bloodstained razor, and pulling down the bedclothes discovered that Broadhead had made a frightful gash in his throat with that in. strument. Rodgers and others rendered what aid was possible to prevent the wound • from further bleeding. Dr. W. M. Robertalum and his assistants. Drs. Robertson and Smith, were quickly in attendance, and stitched up the wound in Broadhead's neck. For a considerable time, Broadhead, who i 4 about 5 years of age, and is employed as a moulder at lieesrs. S. Fox and Co.'s Works, has been in failing health, and whether this has depressed his spirits or some sudden impulse to commit the rash act had actuated him, it is impossible to say. ft is sad. however that he had a brother who took his life by a similar act in Sheffield some few yea's. ago. Deep sympathy is felt for his wife and family of five children, as, although progressing as favourably as possible in the early part of the week, grave doubts are expresicil US to the chances of the unfortunate roun's ultimate reoovery.  20th CENTURY EQUITABLE FRIENDLY SOCIETY, MORTOMLEY ("FLETCHER'S PLIDE" LODGE, No, 591).

The body was found at 4-15 on Wednesday afternoon by Mr. James Allott (husband), banging in a dismal-looking cow-house which adjoins their cottage. In his evidence Mr. Allott stated that his wife had left i)ie house about J-15. saying she was going for a walk. In answer to the Coroner's questions Mr. Allott admitted that his wife bad been queer in her mind for a long time, and that during certain tits of depressiou she had enI pressed a wish to die. They had always lived comfortably together, and be could offer no explanation as to why she should be so lowspirited, except that her mind must have been , unhinged. this being proved by the fact that I she suffered from mental delusions. Insanity I was in the family, a brother of hie wifes having committed suicide some six years ago by drown.ing himself iu Moos and Gamble's reservoir.  Mr Joe Breyer, the only other witnese called, said he saw Mrs. Allott laist in the garden, about half-past three. /The then stood quite still, and seemed disinclined to speak. Mr. Allott called him at a quarter past four. and he went with him and cut the body down. Meantime, be had despatched a meseenger to P.c. Beever, whose ambulance training -ye thought might prove serviceable. He had lived for many years next door to the Allotts. and throughout that time had noticed the kind and consistent manner in which Mr. Allott had treated his wile. His conduct towards her was in every way exemplary. and no man could have behaved kinder. .  The jury returned a verdict of "Buicide duo I lug temporary Imanity, and offered the strong- , eat eyropathy to Mr. Allott and family in their bereavement. The whole village is moved by 1 similar feelings, and on every hand one hears erpreseions of regret that euen a useful and respectable life ahould be an vadlY terminated.
