ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY A YOUNG WOMAN.
A SINGULAR LETTEK. [BY TELEGRAPH.-OWN CORRESPONDENT,] Cambridge, Monday. A young woman named Amy Vickora attempted to commit suicide at Rotorangi Station on Saturday night by taking an ounce of laudanum. A letter was written by her immediately after as follows :- I have taken poison because 1 am miserable and want to die. There is no blame attached to anyone. Good-bye all kind friends and relations, and may God receive my soul. This letter being seen and read by a fellowservant, Constable Brennan and Dr. Percival were at once sent for. They drove out and stayed with the young woman until three o'clock on Sunday morning, taking measures for keeping her in a conscious state. In the afternoon, the patient being still in a low condition, Constable Brennan brought her in, and took her this morning to the Hamilton Hospital.
