Zioncheck a Suicide

Kep. Marion A. Zioncheck of .Seattle, whose madcap exploits in the national capital and the east generally amazed the nation for several months, committed suicide Friday night by leaping from the fifth floor of the building in which his office was located in Seattle. Zioncheck, shown above in natty white suit, is shown beside Kenneth Romney, left, sergeant-at-arms of the House of Representatives, who engineer his flight from Washington to avoid being recaptured after escaping from a private hospital where he had been confined for mental observation. The picture was one of the last taken before his death.
