HUNGARIAN CTRL’S BROKEN HEART DETERMINED ATTEMPTS ON LIFE If a, cat has nine lives, the peasant girls of the Thei. Ss Valley, which recently became notorious through the mass poisoning cases, would seem to have at least three or four, il surv.Yiiig a, broken heart be reckoned on. Elizabeth Nagykovac-s, a. pretty peasant girl, decided, that her broken heart would permit her to live no longer. She hanged herself in the attic of her father’s cottage, but the drumming of her hecks ou the waff attracted notice and she whs cut down. In the afternoon she was still of the same mind, and, concealing herself in the garden, opened an artery in her wrist with a, kitchen knife. She received first aid aucl was taken to a hospital. Restored to her parents the sPmo night, she eluded them and flung herself in the River Tlie’-ss, but her luck was still out—or in. according to the point of view and she was fished out with a, boat hook. Really depressed at the failure of her third attempt at suicide h twenty-four hours, she had to be taken to a hospital suffering from nervous eollapse.
