Hundreds of people stood wild-eycd and watched his plunge to death Many narrowly escaped being crush ed beneath hls talling body. Not a bone ill his body remained unbrokea. It was a tragic way to die, d melodra- matic end. The man was evidently crazed. He no doubt labored under some demented notion that he .wns doing the unusual in the suicide line Hc was. He established record for the unusual in Chicago and establish cd a new fashion in suicides.
