DRANK POISON IN MOTHER'S PRESENCE “This Will End It All,” Said Young: Man, Raising Glass, but She Saved His Life. Yn the presence of his mother James fBullivan, a Navy-Yard machinist, at- fregeted to end his life by drinking cor- ‘Tosive sublimate, “4 ’ “This will end it all,” he sald, raising ,@ glass into which he had poured two bunces of the poison. His mother sprang ‘upon him, trying to overturn the liquid, ut he held her off and drained what mwas left in the glass. While he lay writhing on the floor his mother ran Into the street, calling for @ssistance. Ambulance, Surgeon Dexter, from Brooklyn City Hospital, arrived and administered an antidote in time to ave the young man's life. Sullivan is btwenty-weven years old, ‘Two years agorhe loat his lett leg in un accident at the Nayy-Yard. The mis- fortune made him despondent, but his father-in-law, John H. Farrell, one of the oldest and best known vndertakers in Brooklyn, did all he could to cheer im up, and the two were great chums. Farrell's friends often remarked the af- fection which existed between them. Mr. Farrell died laet week and was buried Monday, His son-in-law waa greatly depressed, and last evening, when he returned from work, he tuld his mother at the dinner table that life was not worth living. She tried to cheer him up, but suspected he might haye designs on his life, and when he left the table suddenly and went into the kitchen she followed. Bhe saw him fill the glass with the poison and eprang at him in time to spill over half of its contents, Buitivan, will recover, but the action of the corrosive acid will prevent biy eating solid, food for months. a SAYS POLICE HOUND HIM, Ellison Telly Mngistrate Sleuths Worry im All the Time, n was arraigned betore in the Yorkville Court with fiim-@amming out © a amie, Deten desc El two electives, who arrested him, bul when he was' brought into court the omplainant failed to identity him, and discharged, he ison, who " pool-room kewper, th that his arrest was be that the hounding him, oubles at Police jarters.

Obliging Young Sailor Brought Over Some Flimsy Frills and Furbelows for an Auntie-Elect and Got Into Jail. DUTY ON THEM $1.70. Jules La Doux, a young sailor on the French ner La Savole, is to be tried by Commissioner Shields for smuggling into this country a few yards of em- brol@ered lawn baby clothes for a friend. Though the duty on the baby clothes was only $1.70, and La Doux was ignor- ant of the stringent customs laws, he 1s lable to a long term of imprisonment and has already been in Ludlow Street Jafl several days, The young sajlor has a friend in this city, Miss Marte Godel, an expert seamstress, who is about to become an auntie. Therefore ahe purchased, sev- eral months ago,.seven yards of lawn, and cut it up into dainty little jackets, long skirts and other baby frills, Ghe told Jules that she wanted to have it embroidered. He said that his stster was a wonder at embroidering baby clothes, and she asked him to take the lawn back to France with him. He carried it home in his blouse, and -his sister did the work. He tucked the hundie of embroidered baby clothes under his blouse again and started for New York. It just happened that when La Savole rived the Customs inspeotors were atching out for a gang of professtonal jugglers, As Jules came down the ngplank they noticed a bulge in his blouse and nabbed him, The next thing he knew he was a prisoner in Ludlow Street Jail under $1,300 bonds, sharing a cell with two smugglers. In the course of: time the young woman who is about to become: an auntie learned of hin’ fate and called upon the.lew firm of Pelletier é-~Loder, of No. 30 Broad street. Mr, Pelletier ex- plained the situation to Commissioner Shields, who promptly reduced the Young sailor's bail to $500, which was secured, and he was released, Though Jules will now have to stand trial, and the embroidered baby clothing is now held up by the United States authori- tes, it Is not likely that the Court wiil deal harshly with the young man for cheating Uncle Sam out of $1.70.
