LEAP OFF BRIDGE FATAL TO BARBER | Rescuers Restore Life, but Man Dies Hour Later in Hos- pital. A brief heur of life was all his rescuers could restore to the elderly man who flung himself from Arlington Memorial Bridge Wednesday night. In that interval, however, the man identified himself as Edourdo Leoni, 61, & barber, of 920 D street. He died shortly afterward at Emergency Hos- pital. A suicide certificate was is- sued today by Coroner . Magruder MacDonald. Clyde Leisch, a guard, saw the man climb to the east railing and leap into the Potomac. Leisch summoned assist- ance—John F. Willilams, bridge over- seer, and John Hunt, operator of the draw span. ‘The three men descended a stairway inside a.pier and launched a small boat. In the darkness, they found the man and succeeded in dragging him to a float. The bridge attendants gave the drowning man artificial respiration and shouted for help. Passing motorists summoned the fire rescue squad. Meanwhile, first aid efforts had re- vived Leoni sufficiently that he was able to identify himself. The first aid was continued on the way to the hospital, Leoni lapsed into unconsciousness again, however, and died in less than an hour. Painting Brings $2,415.
