Danville, April 2—Benjamin Edwards, 18, a high school sophomore, who while in a state of dejection following a quarrel with a girl to whom he admitted an attachment, swallowed poison, was recovering last night at a local hospital. Doctors think he will recover. He swallowed four tablets of mercurial preparation, became ill in half an hour, and was hastened to a hospital where heroic measures were restored to. The young girl in whom Edwards professed an interest is a college student here.
