CHUCK WIG TRIES SUICIDE: T0 FAGE COURT
Stares at Razor While Police Lecture.
Chuck Wiggins was to face an intoxication charge in Municipal Court again today—but in an atmosphere of gloom rather than the customary flippancy. The former prize fighter has been charged with drunkenness before. His arrests sometimes took on hectic proportions when he battled police. His exploits were regarded with humor and awe. But today Wiggins was just a tired man, old at 38—a forgotten man who almost became light-
