YOUNG MAN LEAPS (CONTINUED FIIOM PAGE ONE) ed into the gutter. Shrieks, screams, and moans came from the crowd. Women fainted and were trampled. A j hundred policemen had been holding it back, lest the madman J should kill in his leap other persons in addition to himself, and they were swept aside like straws. The crowd gathered in a thick circle around the poor, broken body with a face that looked like ! pulp, its feet stockinged because , the shoes had been torn off by the | impact, exclaiming and comment- j ing. More women fainted, and, at, , last, the police fought the crowd i back, put the body in a basket! , and took it away. Ward jumped at 10:36 o’clock i last night. Since 11:40 a. in. yes-] terday he had been perched on the ■ ledge, 18 inches wide, 17 floors j . above 55th street intersection of ! Fifth avenue, one of the busiest and wealthiest mercantile streets; ■in the world. For 11 hours he; i tied up traffic, paralyzed the business of the fashionable shops be- j : low, engaged the attention of hun- > i deeds of policeman, disrupted the routine of the old, ultra-conserva-tive Hotel Gotham. His death ! cost the merchants SIOO,OOO, the! i city of New York $30,000, the hotel, ] several thousand. On July 11, 1937 he cut his j i throat with a razor blade. Taken . i to a hospital, he was saved by sur- 1 geons. Eight days ago he climbed \ up on the ledge of a bridge at I Hampton Bays, Long Island but a ! policeman happened by and pulled him down. Ward, the son of the American Express company agent at South- ! hampton, N. Y., had had since his adolescence an overwhelming con- \ vietion of personal inferiority which gave him the viewpoint that no effort was worthwhile, that life was not worth living. He was intelligent, well-mannered, but his depressiye mania made him seem “strange" and a year ago he lost his job as teller in the Southhampton bank. Neighbors of the family, the Patrick A. Valentines, gave him a job tutoring their children. The changed environment did not improve his outlook, and. after his j

two attempts at suicide, he was] placed In the Central Islip hospital for the insane. He was released last month and his depressive mania was said to have been "arrested.” To complete the cure, j Valentine and his wife took him I and his sister, Mrs. Catherine Bull, on an outing to Chicago. Monday night they relumed and ] spent the night at the Hotel Goth- ] am where the Valentines maintain ■ a town apartment. Yesterday, ; morning, the four of them were chatting in the Valentine living room. A remark was passed by Mrs. Bull that was so trivial that no one remembered it. But it was not trivial to Ward. He twisted it 1 into an indictment, and, without a [ word, rushed to the window and ' stepped out. 1 He perched on the narrow ledge. ] Mrs. Bull pleaded for him to re • turn to the room, assured him of ; her love, told him he had eharact- ' er, that he had more character j 1 than anyone she knew, told him | that he was wonderful and that she wanted him to live. He lookjed at her with tear moistened eyes and said he wanted to work it out | for himself. 1 in white shirt and dark trous- | ers, he made a vivid silhouette; i against the dulled limestone of the j | building. Someone saw him and 1 stopped, transfixed, staring up. An j other person, then another and ani other joined the first. Within two | hours the street was packed from I curb to curb and spreading north. “Don’t jump! Don’t jump!’ the, ] crowd shouted Ward stood on ! the ledge, smoking and flicking j cigaret butts to the street. Police alternately ordered and pleaded with him. Valentine loaned out the window and offered to take him to the ball game. "Who’s playing?” Ward asked. "The Cubs (Chicago) and the Dodgers (Brooklyn).” "I d rather jump than see the j Dodgers.” Father John McCarthy of St. Patrick Cathedral tried to dissuade Ward. "I've got to work this out for myself,” Ward replied. Ward’s mother, in her home in Southampton, telephoned. The. telephone was passed out to her son. He put the instrument to his ; ear, heard his mother’s voice, and. without a word, put it down on the , ledge. Darkness had fallen, the crowd ! had increased, peddlers were sellI ing ice cream and cheap binocu- ! lars. The technicians at last devised a scheme. On the sidewalk they stretched a cargo net borrowed from a steamship and attached its side to I ,opes that had been surreptitiously 1 lowered from the floor below Ward’s ledge. They worked slowly, afraid that Ward would see and be impelled to jump. At the ltithe floor one side of the net was made fast to the side of the building. To the other side were attached ropes lowered from the 18th floor, one fiopr- abijve Ward. The plan was to puli up the net and trap Ward between it and the building. Two seconds more and the life of the psychopath who was determined to kill himself would have been saved—for i a time. Ward glanced dowm. saw the net. “I’ve made up my mind,” he said Then he dived.

GROWERS SEEK ' TO END STRIKE i Tomato (irowers, Crops I Rotting In Fields, Urge Settlement Terre Haute. Ind., July 27 (U.R) — More than 1,000 tomato growers whose crops lay rotting 111 fields for la.k of a market, today appeal- > ed to nine striking engineers of the Louden Packing company to come to an agreement wtlh company officials and save (he farmers from ruin. The company will not make purchases during the strike. Stewart Hose, president, declared, adding that a (danse in (lie contract with 1 the growers justified (he act under such circumstances. The engineers, members of local 674 of the International Union of Operating Engineers, an A. F. of L. affiliaie. conferred with company officials yesterday and asked: 1. The orbitration law be stricken from the contract. 2. They be given complete jurisdiction of all boilers and valves in she plant. 3. The company guarantee them a year of full time work of three shifts per day regardless of whether the plant is operating. W'ilson N. Coxt, Jr., company attorney, said the company offered to guarantee the strikers full time work until Oct. 15. The union has i not yet answered, he said. Coxt said one farmer had told I him that he would lose between 50 to 75 tons of tomatoes through the strike. Some growers are reportedly seeking outlets for their crop at Vincennes, It was said. The growers met with Hose, explaining their case. Hose assured them he was making very effort to reach an agreement with the union. The growers then adopted a resolution which was sent to the engineer union. I The resolution appealed to humanitarian principles, stating that although the loss of their over-ripe tomatoes means their ruin financially, in future years they would not grow tomatoes, thus eliminating jobs for engineers. o RADIUM POISON (CONTINUED MOM PAGE ONE) j directed in the ruling. Mrs. Donohue had said that when ; she contracted the dread disease i she weighed 120 pounds. In the j intervening years, her pain-wracked body wasted away so rapidly that ; when death overtook her she , weighed only 60. She had been i bedridden since February. Funeral services were set tentatively for Friday from St. Columbus church here with burial in St. ! Columbus cemetery. BRITISH SHIP SUNK BY BOMB British Steamship Is Sunk By Nationalist Airplane Valencia, July 27 — (UJ!) — The British steamship Dellwyn was bombed and sunk by a Spanish nationalist plane after surviving 1 four previous bombing attacks in four days, a dispatch from Gandia said today. The plane, a seaplane, bombardj ed Gandia at midnight, the dispatch said, and sank the Dellwyn. In a raid Sunday, a nationalist plane sank the Spanish steamship Vincente near the Dellwyn’s berth.

The British destroyer Hero was in Gandia harbor near the Dellwyn during the first two raids Monday but left later. In the meantime the British cruiser Shropshire and the French destroyer Guepard had arrived, and the Guepard was a few hundred yards from the Dellwyn when the incendiary bomb struck it. Four bombs dropped in the Dellwyn’s vicinity in the fiftli and final attaek, and the ship sank slowly in 16 feet of water. None of the
