BLANKET WAS OLD Wm, Grider Hangs Himself in Sacramento Jail, the ex-Convict Precipitated to the Floor Unconscious, but la Btmscitated. At 2 o'clock Friday afternoon ex- Convict William Grider, who for the last ten days has been confined In tho county jail on a charge of grand larceny attempted to commit suicide by hanging. That he failed was owing to the fact that the strips of blanket he had tied around his neck had seen tet- ter days. Grldci- has served four terms in the state prison and Is what is known as a confirmed thief. It seems to he constitutional failing with him.

He was confined in the Folsom prison at the time of the big break last July, and he- causo he tried to inform the officers of the prison ot the Intended break he was pardoned by the governor on recommendation of the board of prison directors. He was Harry Eldrich's cellmate and learned of the intended break through him. Grider came to this city and secured employment with the firm of Weiu- stock, Lubin Co. He was given a heart to heart talk by Mr. Weinstock and faithfully promised to lead an honest life, but the temptation -was too great.

He fell. He gathered odds and ands that he could pick up about the store and was captured after he had arranged to-send the goods to an address at Fresno. While in the employ of the local firm Grider earned a reputation as a good workman, and until his arrest he -was not suspected oj the theft. Grider went about his attempt at sui- tide In a methodical manner. He tore the prison blankets into strips, tied his Jeet together, and then after tying the strips so-as to make a kind of rope, mounted a slop can standing in the cell, threw one end over one of the steel cross-strips, and then tied his hands together so that he could not help himself in any struggle that might follow, and then kicked the can from under his feet But the blanket was not strong enough to stand the strain.

How long it remained intact is not known, but it held long enough to successfully shut off Grider's wind and render him unconscious, and. then it broke. At 2 o'clock a "trusty" engaged in cleaning the corridors saw Grider lying on the floor and gave the alarm. Jailer Hilbert immediately sent tor a physician and Dr. McKee answered the calL Grider was dragged out Into the corridor.

He was breathing and revived after the physician had administered restoratives. He declined to Bay anything, merely asking to be let alone. Before his attempt at suicide Grider wrote two letters, one to his mother, another to Deputy Sheriff T. J. Hagarty.

They were both in the same strain. In them Grider said he had tried to live an honest and straight life, but his good resolutions had all been miserable failures. He had brought sorrow to his mother time and again. He threw away every chance- and disgraced his family. He was unable to control his inherent desire to steal something of small value, and it made no difference whether he was sent to prison for one or for twenty years, it would do no good; Prison, he said, would not change a man's nature, and rather than suffer it all, with what he might expect after the Folsom trouble, he had concluded that life was rot worth living and decided to end it The letter to Hagarty was signed TRENTON, N.

Huston Mor- INSTRUCTIONS OEMAHDED, From a Washington dispatch to the Call we take the following; "Judge Parker's friends are more than ever convinced that the peculiar nature of tho present national situation requires the adaption of instruction; by the state convention in language that can admit of no doubt. They have practically canvassed the entire Democratic sentiment in' congress Irom the Atlantic to the Pacific and have learned from this canvass that the demand is practically unanimous that New York shall instruct In favor of some candidate and bind its delegates so that there shall be no question about how the empire state stands. The consensus of opinion is that If New York instructs the contest between the radical and the conservative ends of the party will all be over within three weeks thereafter or before the middle of May, and that easy control of tho convention by Judgo Parker will have been assured. On the other hand, if New York should refrain from instructing and merely pass complimentary resolutions which would still leave the delegates iree to vote for any man for whom the convention might bo stampeded the contest would, go on up to tho very meeting of the always with a chance of a mistake being made and a weak ticket nominated, Thus the lemand for Instructions does not come rom Judge Parker's friends in New York.but from the Democracy at large. The argument that Tammany had made against the instructions and in 'avor of the compromise is, of course, argely prompted by a desire to avoid rumination for Charles F.
