the uiifiirtnuute uffair:
Sunday morning about 9 o'clock Gbas. F.
jlcCoriuuc, an innmte of Ward No 3 at the
asylum, entered the room of Oscar Rutiuel,
the assistant warden, uud asked biui for a
sheet of (J'.per, saving lie wnuted to write a
litter. Runnels complied with bis request,
and during the few seconds he was engaged
in securing the sheet, MeCormao deftly ab-
strucltd a razor from a cast hanging ou the
unit, and put bis pocket. Securing the
i. i i . .i. .
piocr, u" iiiiui-u nun worn uui ui iue room
id.waid into the yard, whore he mingled I
uitli li ik follow inmates in enjoying the cool
ttnd pleasant morning until shortly after 11,
when till were culled into dinner, McCor
uiitc went in with the rest, and stepping im
mediately to the door leading into the water
closet, called out as he passed inside, "send
fur u doctor." The insane man entered oue
of the compartments, sat down upon the
bench', drew the stolen razor and cut his
throat from ear to ear, mukiug four or five
slashes iu. committing the deed. A most
horrible wound was made, the windpipe,
carotid arterieB and jugular veins being com
pletely cut iu twain, and the vertebra of the
neck only remaining not severed. The body
dropped over against the wall, the head fall
ing backward uud disclosing the ghastly
gash.
Another patient bad been standing outside
the sen en-door and his tttteuliou was at
tracted to the compartment by a sound like
some one vomiting, lie quickly pulled open
the door, and there the sickeuiug spectacle
preseuted by the suicide, with the blood
gushing iu streams from his neck, was pre
sented to his startled vision. He immediate
ly summoned help, but death hid been in
stantaneous, and nothing was left to be done
but remove the body aud lay it out and robe
it iu its funeral cerements.
McOormuc w.is aged about thirty, and was
fiiimeily a rising lawyer of Portland. He
had been iu the asylum about three years,
having become insane, it is Btated, from
ovcrstudy. His wile now resides in Port

Dr. Lino, uud tin y answered instructing
hiiu to prepare the body for removal Wed
nesduy morning to Eugene, where the funeral
will hike place.
The uct was one of those which no ordi
nary precaution could have prevented. Iu.
mates are not allowed iu attendants' rooms,
hut McCormac's request ' for paper was a
common one, uud as he tetired from the
room immediately after his request was
granted, he wut not considered to have
transgressed thu rules.
