The narrow escape from horrible fate
of Daniel Hurley, Il hodcarrier of New
York, is warning to those of somnambu-
listic tendencies not to sleep on the roof.
On hot nights he has slept on the roof of
his house, which is unguarded by any rail.
and on three sides there is sheer descent
to the cobblestones Of rear yards. On
Wednesday night residents in the neigh
borhood heard cries for help and police
The officers described Hurley dangling in
the air at the back of the house, but in the
obscurity of the night the men could not
see what sustained him. Hurley shouted
'I'm on the clothes line; for Gods sake,
help! can't hold out much longer. I'm
slippingn' The officers, followed by neigh
bors, ran first to one housetop and then to
another, and at last reached the one from
which Hurley hung. Other officers placed
themselves in the yard under the suspend
ed man, that they might break his fall if
he lost his hold. Hurley family called,
Hurry up; I'm about gone" The police
man tied cothesline to the rope on which
Hurley lay, and were about to cut the lat.
ter cord from its fastenings in the window,
when the staple by which it was attached to
the house gave way. Hurley dangling at
the end, was dropped to a point midway
between the housetop and the ground.
and there held by the cord in the hands Of
the policemen. Slowly he was lowered
to the ground, where he lay painting and
exhausted for several moments. He said
he remembered nothing until he found
himself falling, and then he clutched at
the rope. He thought he was going down
stairs to bed until the rope cut him. Then
he held on with both hands and called for
