Amy Partridge Marsh, of Tulse Hill, London, who was
charged at the Police Court before Mr. J. Stainer and other Magistrates on
Saturday morning with attempting to commit suicide, said strange things to Mr.
Harry Edward Stokes, who took her from the sea, into which she had cast
herself.
Mr. Stokes, who is a plumber in the employ of the South
Eastern and Chatham, was at work in the Company`s shops when two lads came and
said that a woman had thrown herself into the water. He went to the door and
saw someone in the sea. Then he made his way to the rocks, a matter of 100
yards away, and, on getting nearer to the woman (the accused), she struggled to
get on to the dry rocks. Taking her by the arm he asked what she was doing, and
she said she was trying to commit suicide, and that she had killed her father.
Mr. Stikes said “Don`t talk like that, Madam”, and began to take her towards
the Company`s shops. On the way she remarked “I have left my father on his
death-bed”. Subsequently he took her to the Packet Boat Inn, and, as she asked
for a policeman to be sent for, he went to the police station and gave
information of the occurrence.
To the Packet Boat Inn then came Inspector Lawrence,
who found the accused sitting before a fire in the kitchen. He cautioned her,
and she said “I am not fit to live. I left my father, who is dying, in London.
I had nourishment in the house to give him, and I have not done so”. At the
police station she said “This is all through neglecting my father”.
The Bench bound the woman over, and handed her over to
the care of her friends. They highly commended Mr. Stokes for his action in the
matter.
