“EAT A COUPLE OF CHOPS”
WOULD-BE SUICIDE ADVISED. (By Wire—Special to News.) Auckland, Last Night. “The next time you think of cutting your throat with a razor go and eat a couple of good chops and you’ll feel better.” This was the advice which Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., gave to a man charged in the Police Court to-day with attempting to commit suicide. “Do you feel more cheerful now?” Mr. Hunt asked the man. The accused did not reply, but shook his head and closed his eyes. “He’s not too cheerful,” said the magistrate. “Do you think it is safe to let him go?” “I think he’s all right. He’s had time to think matters over,” replied the subinspector. Mr. Hunt: "What he wants now is a good meal.” Accused was convicted and discharged.
