Attempted Suicide of a Murderess.—Mollie Trussel, who is now in custody for the murder of George Trussel, at Chicago, Ill., made a desperate attempt to commit suicide last week by hanging herself with her shawl. The cell in which she is confined is about six feet wide and ten in length, and light is admitted through a small grating in the door. To one of the bars of this grating Mollie tied her silk shawl, twisted into a cord with a running noose. Then standing on a chair, she fastened it round her neck, and deliberately threw herself off. A woman in an adjoining cell heard her struggles, and called the turnkey, who rescued her from her perilous position.
