| Of 5 DEAD

Chesapeake Bay today gave up
one of the three weekend drowning
victims when relatives recovered the
body at Owings Beach, Nd, OF John
Roland Johnson, Al, contractor. of
1912 Fourteenth ST., who sacrificed
his life Sunday in futile attempt
to save the life of his 20-year-old
son, Frederick.
The body came to the surface
about 8 O'Clock this morning, and
was recognized by his brother.in-
law, Phillip Talbot. The coroner,
DIR. Neal Leatherbury, assisted by
DR.. George P. Dent performed an
autopsy and issued a certificate of
death by drowning. The body will
be removed to Washington.
Meanwhile scores of sympathetic
friends and relatives are endeavor-
ing to discover the body of the son,
so that the two victims may be
Brought back together.
With four swimming fatalities
already recorded over the weekend,
another victim was claimed by the
Potomac River yesterday when
Earl o. Alexander, an 1S-year-old
Marine, was drowned at Quantico,
Va. @
Those who have lost their lives
are: John Roland johnson, Al, con.
tractor, of 7442 Fourteenth st. n.

Gilman was a victim of the
cramps and so far all efforts to re-
cover his body at Herald Harbor

swimming some yards from shore.
When Marines called by the chill
