\ ' WOULD-BE SUICIDE. Was lor a While Employee of Western Union Office Here. Taking three tablets of bi-chloride, Mr W F Coltrane, a young white man of about 23 years of age, made an attempt upon his life at 7 o'clock *--? ? ,.e ovo last nigni, trie resuu? ui wnivn a<\. yet in doubt. The young man was found in an unconscious condition in the park on South Battery at the foot of Meeting street, and taken to Roper hospital, where treatment was at once administered. Advices from the hospital early this morning are to the effect that his condition is j very serious, but that some time will j be required to determine the out- j come, owing to the nature and effects of the poison. Young Coltrane, it is supposed, attempted to take his life in a fit of despondency. He is a telegrapher, it is learned, and had made application for work as a wireless operator here, or was about to do so, and some obstacle was in the way. He has but one hand, and it is supposed that he wished to enlist at the Navy Yard and that his physical disqualification was the cause of his despondency. In one of his pockets was found an application blank for enlistment in some kind at work at the Navy Yard. It is known that he has visited the Navy Yard since his arrivaf in the city about two days ago. At the hospital last night, MrColtrane said he did not know why he ! committed the act; in fact, he had but little to say about it. He recalled, however, having taken the bichloride tablets and then becoming very weak. According to the police, the young man, after taking the poison, called to a passer-by and asked him to notify the policeman on the beat, that he had taken poison -and wanted assistance. The officer was secured and the young man was hurried to the hospital, where emetics were at once given. His recovery depends entirely upon just how much of the poison had been absorbed and commenced its corrosive work. In the pockets of the young man's clothing was found a bank book from one of the banks of Kingstree. It is further known that he has worked at Florence; he says his home is Qreensboro, N C. Efforts to find any place in Charleston where he had worked or applied for work were unavailing last night. It was found, however, that he had secured board at a well-known boarding house on lower Broad street and had been there two days. The proprietress of the boarding house stated last night that Mr Coltrane appeared to be a man of unusual refinement, was well dressed and well mannered, and that there appeared to be nothing troubling him. He had visited the Navy Yard, she said, but for what, was not stated. It was said that he gave no indication of being worried over financial maters. The proprietress stated that he had left the house yesterday morning, but had not returned for either dinner or supper as expected. The young man referred to in the foregoing clipping from the Charleston News and Courier of last Sunday had been here for some time as assistant operator at the Western Union office. He was considered somewhat erratic and talked rather indiscreetly about matters that did not concern him. We have not been able to learn the final outcome of his attempt at self-destruction. ' Former Senator W J Monteom ery, lawyer, banker and philanthrop* ist died, at a hospital in Richmond, Va, last week. He had been in ill health since the latter part of the summer of 1912. Mr Montgomery lived in Marion all of his life and was one of that county's most substantial citizens. Best For Skio Diseases.
