FATAL PLUNGE LAID TO LIQUOR ( Body of M.U. Student Taken To Home in Manotowoc)
The body of Henry Ladwig, 24, Marquette student who plunged to his death from a
third story apartment window early Thursday, was taken to his home in Manitowoc
late Thursday. His father, Henry C. Ladwig, superintendent of the Lakeside
Canning company of Manitowoc, claimed the body and explained his son had
returned to Milwaukee Wednesday to re-enter Marquette as a premedic student
after an absence because of illness. The youth, a nephew of Edward Ladwig,
assistant chief of police in Manitowoc, leaped from the window of an apartment
at 741 N. Fourteenth street while deranged from liquor, Coroner Henry Grundman
reported. Police learned that after renting a room in the apartment building,
Ladwig joined two other Marquette students and helped consume two pints of
liquor. The students, Leslie Phillips of Delavan, Wisc., and Walter Plewe, 21,
told police all three had been drinking and Ladwig became boisterous and was
taken to the room of Al Cary, another student. With no apparent reason, Ladwig
suddenly rushed to the window and leaped out, Phillips told police. The youth
died of a fractured skull in the County Emergency hospital three hours after
the leap. - Milwaukee Sentinel, February 12, 1932.
