He died from tuberculosis and Percy Heath, another well-known Raltimorean, was with him when he died. The remains were cremated and the ashes were sent to h's mother at Atlanta. Ga. About four years ago. Leary married Helen Wilton, a member of a well-known family of thespians. She is also a very capable actress and at present she is in Chicago with the Louisiana Lou Company.
