leaped from the bridge the latter part of

Buffalo Saturday night with "A prof
Haley and a Buffalo repo rter along with
him. They kept themselves dark and
moved out upon the bridge early in the

came up somewhat dazed but struck out
for the boat in which were the reporter
and Haley and was taken in and given
stimulants. He said before he got out
of the water that he would not Jump

he would jump next summer for $1,000.
