Today Daniel Austin, a laborer, attempted to commit suicide in the cell. He tied a handkerchief about his neck, fastened it to the ceiling of the cell and then jumped from the upper bunk. When he was cut down, a few minutes later, he was unconscious and remained in that condition for several minutes. He was locked up again after being put in a strait jacket, but he beat his head against the iron bars with such violence that he cut open his scalp and had to be sent to the city hospital.
