TRAGEDY AT CHRISTCHURCH
Man cuts a woman’s throat. Attempts his own life. Both in precarious condition. Christchurch, Yesterday. An excitiag tragedy occurred here late to-night. A man named Smithers, living in Durham street, went to where a woman named Jackson was living. He first cut her throat with a razor, and afterwards gashed his own throat. Jealousy is understood to be the cause of the outrage. The woman was removed to the hospital, and at midnight her condition was so serious that it was decided to take her depositions. The man was not so seriously injured, for he broke the razor in the attack on the woman, and did not cut his throat to the extent he would have done had the razor been undamaged.
