Anniston, Ala -- May 3 -- Dr Richard L Welfry, who claims to be from Cumberland, Md attaempted suicide with morphine this afternoon at Oxford, three miles south of here.

They spent the night together at a hotel in this city but about noon today she gave him the slip and it is said returned to her father's home. This trouble, and the fact that he was in poor circumstances is thought to have brought on a melancholy which furnished a motive for the deed. Welfry was cared for but it is believed that he will die. He claimed to be from Cumberland Md and said he had wealthy and prominent relatives there. Mary West
