START SANITY ACTION Hjs attempt to plunrge to possible death was frustrated by a 'special nurse who has been incharge of Mr. Thayer'8 case since he sought to shoot himself several days ago. I!1 health is givey as the cause of his despondency. He is to be given a hearing Thursday morning in Counr-- ty court on a petition to test his sap-- ity.

It is reported that Mr. Thayer some months ?o made the statement that if he could not recover his health he would take his life. -- When he shot himself the other day at his home, 14 Jefferson avenue, the charge inflicted only a flesh wound about three inches in length on hi¥% forehead.
