TRIED SUICIDE; THEN WED

Couple Who Agreed to Die Together Changed Their Minds. New York, Aug. 31.—Frank Williamson and Florence L. Wood of Brooklyn were married in a Brooklyn hospital where they are recovering from bullet wounds inflicted in a suicide pact last Wednesday night. Their nearly successful attempt at death brought the young couple to their senses, and at the same time won the consent of the girl’s parents to their marriage. Both Mr. and Mrs. Williamson are blind in one eye as a result of the shooting.
