MUSSOLINI STORY
SUICIDE ATTEMPT REPORTED Rec. 2.30 p.m. LONDON, Sept. 11. Mussolini tried to commit suicide by opening his wrist veins with a razor blade when he heard the Allies demanded his delivery as part of the armistice agreement with Badoglio before Hitler's parachutists rescued him, according to the newspaper Risordimento Liberale, quoted by the Daily Telegraph Rome correspondent. The Duce abandoned his attempts and asked his guards for a revolver, which was refused him.
