THE ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF MAGALDO, Interview with the Murderer—His State- ment of the Affair—How the Knife was Obtained—Prospect of His Speedy Re- covery. A visit to the hospital of Sing Sing Prison yester- day found Donato Magaldo (whose efforts to deprive himself of life last Wednesday have been fully de- scribed in these columns) in a cheerful and rather communicative mood, and although he evidently de- sired to conceal his future intentions, he was ap- parently frank in replying to numerous interrogato- mes bearing on his bloody attempt at self- murder. Shortly after ido had been ad- mitted into the prison it was found on examination by the physician in charge that the wound on his throat, although laying bare the windpipe, had leit that important canal un- touched, while from the stab inflicted just above the sternum it was forsome time feared that internal hemorrhage would produce death. Since then, how- ever, both wounds have healed, and there is now no probability of any fatal results. In an- swer toa question put to him by a prison official yesterday the convict gave him to under- stand that he would not again attempt to take his own life, but his assurance in this particular does not warrant a large amount of credence, as at the dinner hour later in the day one of the nurses saw Magaldo steaithily take a knife and twice feel of its edge, then glance around to see jf he had been observed. This, to- gether with contradictory statements made by the Dloodthirsty Italian, warrant those ardtud ifm in the belief he yet meditates dying by his own ‘On entering the hospital a signal from. ihe pli a cia a the would-be ire 4 alacrity the’ cot on which he. ‘had throat, he persist- when allusion was aknife, a strug of @ smile of indiffer- ence, was the only reply.

While a close watch is kept upon Magaldo tt ts gen- eraily conceded that if he still clings to the thought of suicide he will not have to wait many days ere opportunity will enable him to complete his last at- vempt at taking life.

The introduction of a series of resolutions by. Mr. Husted, from the Commitiee on Federal.
