Mrs. Calvin Caudill Drinks Carbolic Acid - Mrs. Calvin Caudill, wife of the
man who is in jail here charged with the murder of Ebb Henkle, attempted to
commit suicide here last night by taking carbolic acid, but the desperate
attempt was foiled by the prompt action of friends.  She had been brooding
over misfortunes that had been visited upon them all day previous, and told
several persons that she was going to kill her six months old baby, but later
said she was going to leave it at a neighbor's.  About 6 o'clock yesterday,
she left the house of her sister, where she had been staying and left word
that she was going to kill herself.  The community was immediately alarmed and
several went in search and found her in a vacant home.  Entrance to the house
was made by force, and although the woman is said to have possessed superhuman
strength, she was taken back to the house and tied until a doctor came and
gave her something to quiet her.  She still persists that she will kill
herself as soon as she has the opportunity.  (Dec 6, 1904)
