Daniel Hurley, hod carrier, lives
with his fam ly in top story Of FIVE
story brick tenement at 507 East Thir-

slept on the roof, which is unguarded
by any rail, and on three sides there
is a sheer descent to the cobblestones

heard cries for help and police. Many
gathered in the rear yard. but could
not ascertain the direction whence the
voice came. Mrs. Hurley was aroused,
and she ran about the house calling
for her husband. Officer Boyson
came quickly, and soon four or FIVE
more policemen were on the ground.
Mrs. Hure ey fell in the street, over
come with terror.
The officers deserted Hurley dang
ling in the air at the back of the house
at Thirteenth street and Avenue A.
In the o5scurity Of the night the men
could not see what sustained him, but
Hurley shouted, "Pm on this clothes
line; for Gods sake, help! | can't
hold out much longer. I'm slipping"
The officers, followed by the neighbors,
ran first to one housetop and then to
another, and at last reached the one
from which Hurley hung. Other of
fcers placed themselves in the yard
under the suspended man, that they
might break his fall il he lost his hold.
Hurley family called, Hurry up;
I'm about gone" The policemen tied
n clothes line to the rope on which
Hurley lay, and were about to cut
the latter cord from its fastening in
the window, when the staple by which
it was attached TO the house gave way.
Hurley, dangling at the end, was
dropped to point midway between
the housetop and the ground, and
there held by the cord in the hands of
the policemen. Slowly he was lower
ed 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. lie thought he
was going down stairs TO bed until the
rope cut him. Then he held on with
both hands, and called for aid. Prob
ably he arose in his sleep, and walked
