RIVER JAUNT SAVE GASSED MAN'S LIFE W. A Spéncer Tells of Sui- cide Plan Before 2-Month Boat Trip With Daughter. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, October 1—William A. Spencer, former Army officer; who was sought for over two months after his disappearance with his ten-year- old daughter from the home of Mrs. George Halsey, 615 M street north- cast, Washington, was brought to Baltimore, where he was under in- dictment for alleged wife desertion, |yesterday, following his arrest at Ocean View, Va., after living for nearly two months in an open boat. Spencer and his wife were recon: led and the charge of wife desertion s withdrawn. ‘'m glad to get home again,” said Spencer, when he was turned over to Sheriff McNulty. “The (rip saved my ife. Wreek From Gas. “Wivn I left my home here last Augum,” he continued, “I left with ithe intention of killing myself. While 1 was an officer with the chemical di- on of the Army I was gassed sev- cral times. When I was finally dis- charged from the Army I wasa physi- cal wreck. In my work as a chemist I was forced to use large quantities of cyanide. I absorbed this acid in my |system. 1t kept me from sleeping, {und daily I grew weaker. I consulted a physician and was told that if I remaned at my profession it would mean my death in a few months. My mind became affected from worry, and on the day I left my house I intended to kill myself, taking a | vial of poison along with 1 walk- ed all that day, and how 1 arrived in { Washington 1 do not remember. I isold several boolss.on chemistry that {1 had with me for $6 and then went to Mrs. Halsey's home and got my daughter. . Bought Boat for $6. “I was a sick man and more than once I drew the poison vial from my {pocket, intending to end my life, but when I looked at my little daughter I did not have the courage. For $6 I purchased a battered rowboat and, with my daughter, I started down the Potomac river, intending to go back to Baltimore. ~We earned our living by catching fish. At night we made a camp and slept on shore. As the phy- sicicn advised me, I exposed my body to the sun. 1 lived most of the time |in a bathing suit. | “Both my daughter and myself {wrote to my wife on several occa- |sions, but: wa never received a reply. iI think the outdoor life has driven | most of the poison from my system, jand I feel benefited.” ALEXANDRIA. ALEXANDRIA, Va., October 1 (Spe- cial).—An_election~will be held here Tuesday for the purpose of deter- mining whether or not the freehold- ers desire a change in the form of| city government to_that of the city| manager plan. It is predicted that the} | new plan will be adopted by an over- | whelming majority. There is no or- ganized opposition to the change and i consequently the promoters of the { new form feel satisfied that it is ogly a_question of majority with them. In the event the new form is adopted by the citizens, which seems more than likely, an election will be i held next June, at which time five councilmen will be chosen, and they will elect a business manager, and the council and business manager will take charge of the affairs of Alex- andria, September 1 next. | Some of the present members of the | city council, it is reported, may enter the arena for the office. The present city council is composed of twenty-four members, sixteen be- ing members of the common council land eight members of the board of aldermen. Under the new plan the flve mem- bers elected will select a chairman, who, will be mayor and they will ielect a business manager. The women of the city have takena deep_interest in the coming election and judging from present indications the majority of them will vote in | Tuesday’s election.
