Coroner’s Jury.
Trenton, Jan. 8.— Dr. A. S. Kniffin
attempted to commit suicide at 3:30
o’clock in the morning. He used his
pocket knife, and cut a jagged gash
about three inches long in the right side
of the throat, which Wed profusely.
Before committing the deed, however,
he took a heavy dose of aconite. The
quantity probably saved his life, for a
few minutes after he used the knife he
threw the drug off.
The noise made by the retching at¬
tracted the att ntion of his brother-in-
law, Roeeoe Murphy, who was in the
next room. Le thought some one had
been taken ill, and started to investi¬
gate. He found the doctor lying un¬
dressed cn the bed in the room where
the murder had been committed. The

the home of Druggist Patterson on Mer¬
cer street. When Patterson came in he
said, when told of the poison:
“Why, I don’t telieve he got any
poison.” “Yes, I did,” said - the doctor. -
“I got
it off your boy Ed Wilkes early yester¬
day morning before you got to the store. ”
The wound on the neck was sewed up
and the patient made as comfortable as
possible. His attempt at suicide will

a one.

Kniffin. Dr. Kniffin’a attempt evidence on his
life of his is guilt, regarded and as is considered conclusive equivalent
to a confession. /
There are other*, however, who now
deeply sympathize with the doctor. It
is fected, hinted and by that these he that is not his mind responsible is af¬
