DETERMINED TO KILL HIMSELF.
EOEGE MILLEE, a piano-maker, twenty-two
years of age, came to this oountry two years
ago to make his fortune. In pursuit of it he left
off piano-making and went to bar-tending. Lately
he has been employed by one Menken, at Twenty-
fourth street and Fourth avenue. Two weeks ago
he was stricken down with pneumonia, and has been
sick since. In a fit of despondency he cut the arte-
ries on both wrists with a penknife, at his boarding-
house at No. 231 East Twenty-fourth street. After
cutting his wrists he plunged the knife twice into his
breast in the region of the heart. He bled freely,
but death did not come as speedily as he wished, so
he mounted a staircase which ran outside the build-
Ing until he reached the second story, when he
jumped into the yard. The fall fractured his skull
and caused instant death.
