LUNATIC KILLS HIMSELF. Lmanuel Boland, of Aiken County, Drops Thirty Feet From the Porch. Columbia. Au<nust 17.-Emanuel F-21and. a middle-zged wlite man 'om Aiken County, an inmate of the tate Hospital for the Insane, who tried to kill himself several months zzo while on a railway train in the eastody of a guard. on his way\ to the institution. committed suicide late yesterday by falling thirty feet from the lattice work on a porch to one of the Asylum buildings. He lived only a few moments after striking the ground. The unfortunate man was suffering from suicidal melancholia and had been carefully watched since he entered the institution. It is sta ted that he was in the yard of the Asylum yesterday afternoon with several other patients and two nurses. While the attention of the nurses was distracted for a moment, he elimbed the lattice of a veranda to tne third story and either let go his hold or jumped backward. It is said that the nurses tried to persuade him to come down when he was about half way up. The accident although de plorable was unavoidable. No blame can be placed on any one. Coroner Walker was called in this morning, and, after viewing the body and learning the circumstances sur rounding the affair, stated that an inquest would be unnecessary. Last spring, when Boland was be ing brought to the Asylum on the train, he borrowed a knife from some one and, while manacled, plunged it into his throat, inflicting an ugly wound. When he arrived here he was in a desperate condition. He recov ered from this self-inflicted injury, only to end his life yesterday. MERCURY ON THE RAMPAGE.
