Made Noose and Tied Himself to Cross Bar of Cell—Dis- covered by Guard.’ Edward O’Brien, indicted with Barl Paige for the murder of Gardner C, Hull, the Fulton Street stationer, tried to kill himself early this morning by hanging. ‘The news was conveyed to Assistant District Attorney Joyce in a message jhold, N.

Wilkins hanged himself after con- vietion of wife murder, O'Brien knew the Wilkins story intimately, and for a time he is said to have confessed—although afterward deny- ing-that he took part in the murder ot Mrs, Wilkins, His latest story is that he was “kidding” when he made that confessidn, which never was taken seriously, It is now reported ‘that O’Brien has completely lost the bravado which chaiucterized his attitude im- mediately after his arrest and his alleged confession that ft was he who did the actual killing of Hull, Mr. Joyce, after receiving the mes- enge from Sheriff Geran, at once telephoned to Philadelphia, where Paige is under arrest, asking that special precautions be taken against aay attgmpt by Paige to end his life, The District Attorney's office is planning for the speedy extradition of the pair, and it is believed that the trials will come in August, The Paige boy, according to Mr. Juyce, has confessed his share in the plan to rob Hull. “He told me,” said Joyce, “that the money they got—about $200— looked so big to him that he thought he was independent for life, He bought pies and candies in Phila- delphia and went to the movies." peel AB Brad STRIKE CUTS CIGAR SUPPLY, Dealer Fears Over Workers’ in Shortage of cigar stocks waa predicted to-day by D, A.
