Finally Ends His Life

Family Troubles Drive Dr. Fisher to Suicide.

Lebanon, Pa., May 25.-Dr. A. M. Fisher of McAlisterville, Pa., committed suicide by swallowing prussic acid as he at on the porch at the home of his wife's father, John Fox. Dr. and Mrs. Fisher parted two years ago. Shortly thereafter she brought suit for divorce for "cruel and barbarous treatment." He tried to effect a reconciliation and, failing in this, he attempted suicide but was prevented by his brother-in-law, Luther Fox, who knocked a phial of acid from his band as he was about to drain its contents. Sunday night, however, he was successful in his second attempt.
