    3. Another Willow Grove tragedy. Antonia GRISCOLINI, who is employed in the mines at Willow Grove, cut his throat on Monday from ear to ear. The implement he used to accomplish his work was a razor, and the reason he gave for the act was that he "had too much blood." GRISCOLINI has a wife at three children who live at Willow Grove. Monday about noon he returned from work and going to his room, cut his throat. After he had done this he inserted the razor into the gaping wound and twisted it around in such a manner as to make a frightful aperture. He was discovered in an unconscious condition by his wife shortly after he had finished his bloody work. She called in a doctor who succeeded in stopping the flow of blood. GRISCOLINI was taken to the West Penn hospital where at last accounts he was in a critical condition.
