Horace Blackniur, the young broker, for whose sake Ida Morrison attempted to commit suicide im the'r apartment at No, 388 Halsey street, Brooklyn, last night, has flopped again. The girl took carbolic acid because Blackmur told her that he had be- come reconciled with his wife, who was suing him for divorce, naming Miss Morrison as co-respondent.

I haye visited her and contribuied to her support, but we have. never been closer than friends sin our marriage." * Girl in Critical Condition, Miss Morrison is in a critical con- dition at St. Mary's Hospital. Blackmur insists that she took the polson acel- dentally, believing it to be peppermint. The stuff was mixed with whiskey, and but for this fact the girl would probably have dled immediately.
