>>FRIDAY, 30 SEPT 1864<<
SUICIDE MANIA - During the past week no less than 5 suicides have occurred, 3 of which were in San Francisco. At Watsonville, Santa Cruz county, Thomas BRICE, in a fight with Henry WARD, stabbed him so severely that he died, and BRICE was sent to jail to await trial, and while there he contrived to kill himself by swallowing laudanum. At the town of Natividad, Monterey county, on the 28th, Dr. James STOKES, while temporarily insane, took a dose of strychnine and ended his existence.
