E A 0 dr fowler succeeded in waking the sleeping man who on being questioned said he had taken twenty grains rains of morphine with the int intention antian of committing suicide that he did not longer louger desire to be a burden harden upon strangers Gr angers or to be regarded as a bilk and ook took t this method to escape ile he refused to let dr fowler pump the drug out of his stomach saying haying it was two hours since lie he had taken it that he had swallowed nothing since bince but lut but a little coffee to dissolve the poison that it was thoroughly in his ills system and aud it make any attempt at getting it out and that lie desired to be let alone he spon sank sauk into a deep stupor dr fowler however went immediately to vork work york administered a dose ot at atropine and ordered that plenty of strong coffee be also isen given iven dr potter was called who saw the bottle from which the morphine had been taken and noticed that no such amount as twenty grains had been removed A sixty feisty grain bottle of morphine similar to td the one in dr oppens room was obtained and when weighed was found to contain fifty six bix grains gi alnis ainis while the one which had been used used by the doctor contained rity olty one ne grains showing that the dose lose taken had not exceeded five grains though this amount is sufficient to cause death in a person unaccustomed to its use the e efforts of dr fowler were successful sf al aud and today to day dr oppen is reported to be almost entirely well the case scarcely looks like a real attempt at suicide on reviewing the circumstances and the statement by dr oppen that he had taken twenty grains when five was the actual amount we incline to the opinion that it was merely an attempt to raise an excitement and create sympathy and notoriety for the chief actor in the farce |
