Bowen May Die As Result of Suicide Attempt - Held in Wolschendorf Case

"Brockton, Mass. Sept. 17 - William S. Bowen, who attempted suicide at his home in East Bridgewater as a sequel to his being questioned by Middlesex county authorities in connection with the finding of the dismembered body of Mrs. Alice M. Wolschendorf, of East Bridgewater, in the Merrimac river, was in a serious condition at a hospital here today. A police officer is at the bedside but according to District Attorney Reading, of Middlesex county, Bowen is not under arrest. The district attorney said that he might be held as a material witness in the case in connection with which Dr. William M. Robb, of Boston, is under arrest charged with performing an illegal operation and R. Dalva Swope of Brockton, charged with being an accessory before the fact."

"The authorities have disclosed nothing as to what occurred when Dr. Rob was taken to see Bowen at the hospital yesterday. Bowen told the chief of police at East Bridgewater that people had been lying about him."
