SUSHEB DESPm- aulv with knife N. C., Dec. 30.— In plain view of a mirror in which he could watch his every movements, William Rodenkir- chen, a stonecutter from Siberia, vesterday morning in his room in the Guilford hotel, slashed his throat desperately with a small penknife, while men broke down the door and freed him from his frenzied self. Then he pleaded for a revolver which he night end his life then and there. This not forthcoming, he submitted and was carried to St. Leo's hos pital, where it is said he will re cover unless complications en- sue* On the front side of a postal card in scrawling letters which were almost unintelligible and which were partly covered with red blotches, were a couple of lines written apparantly in his own blood and dated 1 o’clock: “It is me death. My life is fin ished in this." On another slip of paper was his will, which evi dently had just been made, and which provided for his father, for his sister, and for the poor. He had cut himself in four diff erent places. Across his left wrist were thr^ ^^lashes, and across the righi wnst were two. Near his heai*t the /^h of a stab, and in his throat a cut in which threse fing^rs^otildhave been placed. On tTie floor'was a pool of blood, and he had evi dently bied fr^ly and K^vily. That he will probably recover is due to his apparenfc,great strength and gooo health. Mr. Rodenkirchen registeied at the Guilford Thursday night about 11 o’clock and immediately went to his room, which waaNo. 21, on the second floor. He was found by the housekeeper at 11 o’clock yesterday morning, near ly 12 hours after he went to his room and the appearance was that he had never retired, and that only his coat had been laid •off. The discovery was made when the housekeeper heard grctans while passing his door. A report was immediately made to Hubert Latta, tne clerk at the desk, and he hurried up to investigate. The door being lockekJ, he look ed through* the transom, and just in time to see the small knife dug into the neck. He returned to the lobby ai)d securing the com pany of another person, entered a room adjoining that of the wouldbe suicide and battered in the door. When they entered the injured man begged that they give him a revolver and said that he want ed to end it at once. Instead a carriage was secured and he was carried to the hospital as quickly as possible. He begged that they conceal his act from the know ledge of his father, who, accord ing to the best information to be secured, lives in Barre, Vt. Rodenkirchen was evidently on his way to Mt. Airy to take a position as a stonecutter with the Mount Airy Granite works. A message from Mount Airy last evening stated that he had been offered a place and that he was expected to take up his work. A letter from the Mount Airy people was found in a packet of papers which he carried. The cause of his act is not known, though it has bee i sug gested that the lack of friends weighed upon him during the holiday season, coupled with a love he must have felt for some woman he must have felt was above him. Among the numer ous papers was a piece of note paper on which several letters had been begun. One of these had evidently been written to some lady for whom he felt a very high regard. “You are above me,” was the substance thereof, “in education and in eti quette. A letter from you would be my Christmas present.” The letter must have been written be fore Christmas and was never mailed. Mr. Rodenkirchen was regis tered at the Guilford as “Roden kirchen, Adrian, Siberia.” Among his letters was a card ad dressed to him at Adrian, Mich. That he is originally from the old country is shown both by letters written in a foreign language and by the will, which provided for the disposition of his estate in the old country. In his purse was about $90 in money, and a United States 2 1-2 per cent. Postal Savings Bank bond for 1 $100. A bankbook told of about I $300 depositied in a bank in Bar- Ire, Vt. New York, Dec. 29:—The course of true love has ever run bumpety-bump for Mortimer Kapftan, vaudeville actor. ‘ *I married two girls, ” he sigh ed last night after he had obtain ed earlier in the day from Su preme Court Justice Ford a writ to bring his , second wife into court, ‘ and both were poor. I am rather proud of what I have done. If they had beet, heires ses I would have fared better.” Kaphan and his lawyer, Sam uel Furstenburg, of No. 346 Broadway, assert that the second wife is held prsictically a prison er by her parents at No. 1159 Intervale avenue. “She like my first wife,” said Kaphan to a reporter, “was in fatuated with me. She worked for me as a stenographer in my office at No. 1^2 Broadway. She was a fine jjirl, only 18, and she tried to make every one hap py. I proposed to her and was accepted. We went to Hoboken on Christmas day and were mar ried by a justios of the peace. * We went up to their hom^, and Anna—Anna Shaurer heir name was—broke the news to her father, John, The mother and father denc»unced me, aiid a lot of ruffians thi^w me out of the place. They threatened ; the girl’s life if she left with me, and I was forced to leave her there only a few hours after we had beesn married. “I got the writ this afternoon, and with my lai^^yer went to the house and served it. W« antici pated trouble and a policeman. We got service, but the parents raged at me. In the background I saw my poor wife, afraid so much as to open her mouth.” In April, 1910, Mrs. Marie Semple Kaphan asked the Su preme court to annul her marri age to Kaphan, saying she had married the actor on January 12, 1905, at the age of 15, too young to know her own mind. The court granted her request. “With her, also, it was a case of too much parents, ’ ’ said Kap han. “She was a good girl and a beautiful girl, but she was poor and I had nothing to gain by marrying her. I think that I am entitled to some credit for hav ing married poor girls. I do not i-e^^t her, however, for she is not such a little wonaan as Anna is. Anna has the biggest heart in the world.” We take pl^ore in annwmc- ing that any of our readers can secure a pretty vest pocket nc>te book and ealeader by sending 4 jne-eent staraps to D. Swift & Co., Patent Lawyers, Washing ton, D. C. In. addition to the 44 blank pages for memoranda, it contains calenders for 1912 and 1913, the population of the ^0 largest cities„ in each state ac cording,to the census of 1910, the populatkiii and area of each state, the number of eJeetoral votes eaeh presidential candidate received from each state in 1908, the number of Democrats and Republicans elected tO' Congress by each state in 1908 and 1910, a chapter of useful household in formation, and a chapter of use ful law points for every day use. This book would cost 3S cents at a book store. Stopped Those Pafss.

Sadlin, the Wihnington wife-murderer, went to the electric chair today a ner vous wreck. Three currents were shot through his body and at 10:- 42 the physicians pronounced him 4ead. The body was claim ed after the electrocution by J. E. Sandlin, a brother, and carri ed to Onslow county for burial. The murder was committed on the night' of Jiine 27,1911. Sand lin returned to his home, which he had abandoned, and pleaded with his wife to live with him a- gain. On her refusing he began cursing and beating her and then fired three shots into her body, any one of which would have produced death. The man also shot himself, inflicting a slight scalp wound in the head. After his arrest,, conviction and sentence, he appealed to the Supreme court, but lost his case. His lawyers then appealed to Governor Kitchin and he granted a stay of execution for a month pending the presentation of evi dence to show insanity. ^ The state hospital physicians said the man was absolutely normal and his attorneys produced nothing new. . - About 40 persons “witnessed the execution.
