SECOND ATTEMPT TO END HIS LIFE FAILS Disappointed Husband Tries to Choke Himself With Handkerchief After Being Placed in Cell Committed to jail by Recorder Stackhouse for trying to end his life on Sunday last by shooting himself in the head, Louis Asseline, a jockey, aged 22 years, of 364 West Thirty-sixth street, New York, tied a handkerchief about his neck with the intention of choking himself to death shortly after being placed in a cell yesterday. His act was witnessed by Policeman Kates, who summoned Sergeant Reed and the desperate young man was relieved of his improvised garrote. Asseline told the Recorder at the hearing that he was despondent because his wife refused to return home with him. He had visited her at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Barry, Locust and Mechanic streets. The formal charge of attempted suicide was made by Police Captain James on information received.
