Return to Life A Failure, Patient Suicides
New York—Police are searching the Hudson River this morning for the body of 58-year-old Wayne Janson, who allegedly jumped to his death from the lower level of the George Washington Bridge late last night.
"Wayne was in a state of despondency since submitting to the Beller reanimation technique two months ago," said Jonathan Bryant, of 312 W 79th St., a close friend of the dead man.

"Excuse me," Harker muttered to his wife. Clutching the paper, he ran to the phone and tapped out Mart Raymond's number.

Harker rapidly read the article. Raymond was silent for a moment, then said, "Huh? Who does he think he's kidding?"
"What do you mean?"
"We've never had anyone of that name here. Bryant's obviously fabricating something."
