WOMAN ENDS LIFE
IN BRIDGE LEAP
Mrs. J. D. MuIIock Believed
Worried Over Her
Health.

Believed worried over her health,
Mrs. Emily B. Mullock, Al, Of 1918
Kalorama road NV, yesterday leaped
to her death from the Calvert Street
Bridge-only two blocks from her
home.
Despite the proximity Of the tragedy
and the screaming sirens of emergency
cars that hurried to the scene, MEM
bers Of the family were unaware Of
what had happened until hours later.
The plunge Of more than 100 feet
killed the woman almost instantly,
but her body lay unidentified in the
morgue about IL hours before her
husband, John D. Mullock, an ac-
countant for the Securities and Ex-
change Commission, learned it was
that Of his wife.
Puzzled by the absence of his wife,
Mr.. Mullock went to the morgue
after reading newspaper accounts of
the death Of the woman, who bore
nothing on her person to identify her.
He collapsed after viewing the body.
Mrs. Mullock left horne about m.
and hurried othe bridge. A pedes-
trian, Paul Rver, IS, of SOB Seward
square Sc, saw her climb the railing
in the middle of the span, and he
made futile attempt to stop her. Her
body struck on grassy plot between
q roadway and a branch Of Rock
Greek.
Coroner A. Magruder Macdonald
issued q certificate Of suicide, but said
he had been unable to determine def
nitely the woman's motive for ending
her life.
It was said by q member of the
family, however, that Mrs. Mullock
had been under physicians care
for q heart ailment.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Mullock
is survived by two sons, John D. Null
lock. jr, and William Mullock, both
of this city, and a brother, Alfred
