SAD STORY.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
A pathetic story was to-day related to Mr. R. O, Hutchison by a young Chinese who was be- fore his Worship on a charge of fattempting to commit suicidė,
An Indian constable while on his beat in the Conduit Road locality yesterday morning came upoa the TIAN in the last stages of suffocation, produced by a rope with which he was suspending himself by the neck from the branch of a tree. The policeman cut him down, and the Police, after investigations; into the matter, to-day asked the Magistrate to remand the case in order that it might be referred to the Secrely for Chinese Affairs. When asked for an explanation of his conduct, the unhappy man told bis Worship that in his youth he was sold by his parents to a family in Fukien, and when they went abroad he had to shift for himself. He had been to Sing- japore and came into this Colony
to seek bis parents.
He discovered that his father was dead, and that an elder brother had gone away from the Colony.
So to his mind there was nothing
worth living for, and he
