' 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.
