Tries To End Life With Morphine

Harvey Covington, Brother of Mrs. Walter Johnson of Atlanta, Attempts Suicide

Cuthbert, Ga., Dec. 21 – Mr. Harvey Covington, a well known young man of this 
place, 23 years of age, swallowed a large quantity of morphine Saturday night 
with suicidal intent, and would have died but for prompt medical aid.

Two doctors and many others worked over the sick man several hours before he 
was out of danger.

Mr. Covington was badly hurt several months ago in Lumpkin by falling from a 
telephone pole and has never recovered.  He was greatly depressed over his weak 
physical condition and this is thought to have caused his rash act.

Mr. Covington has a sister, Mrs. Walter Johnson, and a sister in law, Mrs. Tom 
Covington, who lives in Atlanta.
