hours he had taken the whole bote
le of medicine which mads*him
real sick.
A few days later he decided calo
mel wouldat kill. So taking a
small looking glass fromn the walls
of the cell, he broke it and beating
it very fine, he swallowed about a
tablespoonful. In a few hours he
was suffering from the eflects and it
seemed that death was near, but tbg

The negro says he had rather die|
than live, and if he could would
commit suicide. : ity
