Charleston, Sept. 25.-Corporal George P. Ashe, of York, a Citadel cadet, agod 20, of this year's sopho more class, was prevented from tak ing his life early yesterday morning by what his friends believe to be nothing short of a miracle. He jumped from the third door gallery to the Inner cement court of the barracks building, a distance of 40 feet, and, although painfully hurt about the face and body, bas been declared by the attending physician to have a good chance for recovery. On discovery of the attempted sui cide by one of the guards, Dr. Cath cart, Citadel physician, was sum moned and made an examination, af ter which he said the man's chances for recovery were good. Temporary despondency is believ ed to have caused young Ashe's at tempt to kill himself. Yesterday morning, a short while before revclle, Perry Ashe was awak ened by the movements of his bro ther in their room and asked him what was the matter. His reply was, "I can't sleep." Perry then dozed off. hut later noticed bis brother sit ting on Hie edge of the bed reading a Bible. Believing that his brother was restless and could not sleep, Perry pulled the cover up and went sound asleep again. He knew noth ing of George's plunge to the cement court until awakened by a guard, who informed him that bis brother bad "fallen" from the gallery. No one saw the plunge, but a guard on duty at the gate beard the thump of the body, and rushing out found Corporal Ashe lying on the hard, paved court. He at once sum moned help and the young man was removed to the cadet hospital in an unconscious condition. In his room was found the follow ing note: "Dear mother and all my brothers and sisters and friends: "Good-bye to all of you, and God bless you, especially mother. boss of mind and despondency. (Signed) George Ashe." Mrs. Ashe. mother of the endet, was notified at once of her son's in jury and arrived in Charleston last night. The boy's father is dead. . Bounty Land Local NeWS.
