THE WOULD-BE-SUICIDE
Andrew H. Jennlnga, I* Sought by
Relatives.
City Marshal Swain is in receipt of
a letter from Mr. C. J. Parry, of Asto-
ria, 111., who says he read an account
ofc the attempted suicide of Andrew H.
Jennings, and as he had a relative of
that name that filled the description
exactly that had been in the South
/or 20 years, he was confident that
this was the man. He then describes
his uncle, which description exactly
tallies with that of t.he man here, who
attwnglpd to end his life while in the
rala)t>oose, leaving no doubt of this be-
ing the man.
He states that this newspaper ac-
count of his attempted suicide is the
first information he hits received
ai>out him since 1872, when he was at
Clarendon, Ark., and Mr. Jennings
had letters among his effects
from that place, showing that he had
k>een there as they were of a social
nature. He states further that Mr.
Jennings was a well educated man,
high ly esteemed by the best people of
Astoria, enjoying to the fullest exteDt
their confidence, but for some unac-
countable reason after his departure
he would never write home or let his
people know of his whereabouts. He
asks for papers with accounts of the
attempt at suicide, and to let him
know what circumstances he is in.
Mr. Jennings after his attempt at
suicide was sent to the poor farm
where he is at present, and in his
present condition will no doubt be
glad to hear from his relatives. His
wounds are said to be fast improving
and It Will not be long before he will
be out again. There was no charge
against the gentleman when he was
locked up, save that he was disturbing
the peace at the hotel with a case of
delerium tremens.
