Amos Green suicide

from New Jersey Mirror 15 Jul 1908 After swallowing carbolic acid in a drug store at Franklinville on Saturday night, Amos Green, a negro bartender, of Atlantic City, rushed upstairs with a club, and chased the proprietor of the store over chairs, tables, boxes and barrels, upsetting a lamp and making the place look as if a cyclone had struck it. The druggist escaped injury. Then the negro fell unconscious to the floor. He was hurried to Clayton, three miles distant, but doctors were unable to save the man's life.
