Francesco Corsaro saved Matthew Leonard from assassination, Clymer, Pennsylvania, November 13, 1913. Leonard, 46, policeman, was attacked by three assailants. As they struggled, one of the assailants tried to get Leonard’s revolver, but Leonard prevented him and fired a shot that went wild. Leonard fell to the ground, and all the assailants beat and kicked him. Leonard fired another shot, which struck one of the men, who left the scene. Leonard called for help, and Corsaro, 36, barber, who had heard the shots, ran from his place of business as another of the assailants ran away from Leonard. The third assailant was kneeling on Leonard, beating him on the head. Corsaro ran to them, grasped the assailant, and pulled him from Leonard, and he ran away. Leonard jumped to his feet and fired a shot, which struck Corsaro in the neck and injured his spinal cord, disabling him. A moment later Leonard recognized Corsaro. 12220-848
