NEWPORT
ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE-John Walsh, formerly Deputy Marshal of Newport
and more recently a Constable, attempted to commit suicide on Monday night at
his boarding house on Cabot street, between Madison and Bellevue, by swallowing
a considerable quantity of laudanum.
A powerful emetic was administered to him by a physician which relieved the sufferer and yesterday he was walking about the streets as if nothing had happened. It is reported that financial trouble caused him to attempt to destroy himself.
