Kills Himself in Cell

Man Who Murdered Joliet Woman Commits Suicide

Albert H. Darwin, a prisoner at the county jail in Cleveland, charged with the 
murder of Mrs. Anna Gray of Joliet, Ill., committed suicide in his cell by 
hanging. Darwin eloped from Joliet with Mrs. Gray several months ago, the 
couple going to Akron, Ohio. Later they came to Cleveland. When the woman 
decided to return to her husband and children she was shot and killed by the 
man. Darwin had been on trial. It is thought that the failure of a plot to 
escape from jail led him to commit suicide. The jail officials discovered that 
several bars had been sawed from a window in one of the corridors.
