. 1871 Sept 26, Attempted suicide of George Gifford, son of the Proprietor of the Union Hotel.
Our city as startled early Thursday evening by by the report that Mr. George Gifford, a young man about 28 years, had attempted to commit suicide by taking arsenic. Young Gifford is addicted to drink, & at times, after having been on a spree, becomes very morose & despondent. He works on the Michigan Central Railroad as a brakesman, & a short time ago left, & has been drinking. About 7 o'clock in the evening he went into Teetzel's drug store, over the river on Main st. & accosting the proprietor, asked for 10 cents worth of arsenic which which to kill rats at the barn. Mr Teetzel gave him 2 drachus, giving him the proper directions for its use, as Gifford requested.
"Will, this is the last arsenic you will ever sell me."
Mr. Teetzel's suspicions were immediately aroused that all was not right & he asked Gifford what he meant: "Nothing, only I'm going to see my girl," was the reply & he dart across the street.
Mr. Teetzel went straightway to the hotel, & informed Gifford's father of the occurrence. Mr. Teetzel & another young gentleman immediately started in pursuit of him, to recover the poison before it was too late.
Meanwhile, young Gifford had gone down Main St. to a saloon where he was known & asked for liquor. The proprietor refused, saying that he had drank enough already. George jumped over the bar seized a bottle & glass & rushed for the back door. A Gentleman attempted to stop him & he struck him in the face, knocked the bottle out of his hand. Gifford tore open the paper of arsenic with his teeth, & swallowed nearly all of its contents before any one could interfere.
He was immediately taken to Union Hotel & medical assistance was summed. Drs. North, Bronson & McLaughlin attempted to administer the proper antidotes, but Gifford resisted with all this strength. Policeman Riley was obliged to handcuff Gifford with his hands behind his back. In the struggle while endeavoring to force some sweet oil down his throat, he knocked the glass containing in into Dr. McLaughlin's face & cut his nose. The antidotes were administered & the effects of the poison stayed.
Friday morning he was out on the street, apparently as well as ever, complaining only that his stomach is a little hot. He says that he will kill himself yet in spite of the doctors.
