Recovers Where Walker Died.
The recovery is announced, at
Detroit, Mich., of Thomas Mc
Cabe, an engineer who swallow
:ed ten grains of bichloride of
! mercury with suicidal intent,
i McCabe was moved to the use of
bichloride of mercury in his ef
fort at self-destruction by read
ing of the death of B. S. Walker
of Macon, Georgia, who through
mistake, took a dose of the drug
and after several days’ battle
for life passed away without
pain. McCabe was saved by the
injection into his veins of a so
lution composed of fourteen
drachms of bicarbonate of soda
and three pints of normal water,
the injections being given every
five or six hours. McCabe’s ex
perience with the deadly drug
was different from Walker’s
however. The latter suffered no
pain, while McCabe was in in
tense agony almost from the
time his treatment began until
his recovery became assured.—

tent that he has lost normal con- 1
trol'of his bodily and mental fa- ‘
eulties.”

After being taken to the In-;

formed at 9 o’clock, and at an j
early hour this morning, Mr.
Atwood was resting easy.
REFUSES TO TALK.
Claridge said he had been men-1
aced by Atwood on a number of
occasions. He said when he
tried to get away from him last
night, and Atwood followed him,
he became so angry that he did
not remember what happened.
He declared that if Atwood was

aid it.
Friends of the men last night
said that it was common knowl
edge that they had borne a
grudge of long standing, which
has almost led them to fight a
number of times.
