SUICIDES
RESULT OF MELANCHOLIA (Per United Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, September 30. At the inquest on Mrs Vida Neal, in returning a verdict that deceased hanged herself while suffering from melancholia, the Coroner said that the first thing a person should do when he found another person hanging was not to run for assistance, but to cut the body down and remove the rope from the neck. The evidence showed that had this been done, deceased’s life might have been saved, as the doctor was of the opinion that she had been dead only about a quarter of an hour when he saw her. A SOLICITOR’S DEATH. HAMILTON, October 1. T. P. Walshe, a solicitor, married, was found dead in his office last night with his head over a gas ring. He had previously threatened to commit suicide. Deceased was formerly a prominent footballer.
