HONEYMOON
ENDED BY
SUICIDE
Bird e Finds Mate
Dead; Financial
Worry Blamed

NEW YORK. Sept. IL. G.N.SO
A tragic end was written today to
the three weeks old honeymoon Of
John Langdon Leighton, 80, club
man and World War naval officer,
and Mrs. Helen Leighton, socially
prominent Philadelphia.
While his blonde bride waited
in an adjoining bedroom, police
said. Leighton hanged himself by
his belt from a bathroom clothes
hook in his suite in the Hotel
Peter Cooper, late last night. Mrs.
Leighton found the body when
she swung open the bathroom
door after her husband had failed
to answer her calls. A police en-
ergency squad worked over Leigh
ton for more than an hour in a
vain attempt to revive him.
Friends expressed the belief
that worry over finances caused
Leighton to end his life.
Mrs. Leighton was once the
wife of Reuben Senton Fisher,
executive of the Mercoid Ma
chinery firm in Chicago. She is
said to be the mother of two
daughters.
Leighton was on the staff
Of Admiral Sims during the
World War.
