YOUTH INSISTS TO COURT HE'LL COMMIT SUICIDE
Levi Karafin, 19, of 329 North Thirty-fourth street, stood in police court yesterday and declared his suicide attempt Sunday was in earnest.
"My parents are dead. I've got no job. What's the use. I tell you I'll do it again," the lanky youth insisted. Karafin was arrested for making an attempt to take his life by drinking poison Sunday.
Fully recovered from the effects of the potion, Karafin refused to promise the court to take a renewed interest in life.
At the request of the Jewish Welfare Board of Philadelphia who notified Police Judge Lewis Liberman they were acquainted with Karafin's case, the despondent youth was released in the custody of the board.
