Gone to the Hospital
Herman Vogel, the would-be suicide
who so frightfully maimed himself
on Monday, was taken to Salt Lake
City on Tuesday, where he will be
placed in St. Mark's hospital for treatment.
Up to the time of his departure the wounded man had evinced no regret over his unseemly deed;
in fact he made another attempt to end his life on the evening of the day on which the tragedy occurred, by seizing a large knife and attempting to stab himself; but he was promptly seized and disarmed by those who were watching him. He is possessed of the most remarkable endurance.
On Tuesday he wrote several letters and the writing exhibited not the slightest trace of nervousness or weakness. Early in the morning of that day he arose and made
preparations for obtaining the cup of coffee
which he is accustomed to taking before going
out in the morning, and in many other ways
gave evidence that the fearful wound inflicted
upon himself had not weakened him

To the first suggestion of going to Salt Lake
for treatment, he was decidedly averse; but
upon the full situation being explained to him
by the attending physicians, he finally consented
to go. Before leaving he adjusted all his difficulties,

business during his absence.
Relatives of Mrs. Vogel now claim that her
husband did not point the gun at her, although
that was the explanation given at the time of
the tragedy. According to the latest and most
authentic version, Mrs. Vogel seeing her husband
leave the house, followed him and asked if the
gun was loaded. He replied by asking her

started back toward the house, and when within
a few feet of it heard the report of the gun.

The physicians are quite confident that if blood
poisoning does not set in, Vogel will recover. A good
deal of sympathy for the unfortunate man is
expressed on the street.
