A Crank Clad in Swimming Tights
 Jumps From East River Bridge
 and Is Not Seen Again.
 BROOKLYN, July 23.-At 10:03 this morn ing an unknown man leaped from the road way of the East River bridge at 8 height of one hundred and twenty-fv feet above the water about one fourth of the distance from thr New York tower to where Odlum jumped
 His approach was made so cautiously that none of the police observed him and the at tention of those on the bridge engaged by a splashing in the river. The man was dressed in swimming costume of white tights and when first seen climbing the rail had his clothes tied in bundle. A funeral was passing at the time and he may have stepped from carriage following in the rear. At
 the moment of jumping his hands were held at his side and it seemed that he would strike the water with his feet, but when half way down he was seen to make partial turn and fell heavily on his back. He disappeared
 below the surface and has not since been
 seen. The occurrence was seen by great
 many people on the Fulton Ferry boats and
 piers, but the bridge police insist that tugboat was in the vicinity at the time and cruised about the spot for several minutes, but did not discover any trace of the man. At the sporting headquar- ters no information could be elicited. It is not known that any man of note in sporting circles was intending the leap. Several have laid bets that they were willing to make the l jump and on Wednesday last youngssman whose name could not be learned declared | that he would leap from the bridge on Fri | day. Among those who are mentioned as | the jumper are: Dennis F. Butler, the swim ! mer, who has bet of $1 1000 to $500 that hs | could successfully make the jump, and Don aldson, who leaped from High Bridge, and , young man named Pike, who jumped iron l Passaic Falls. Despite the assurance of th' | bridge it is nevertheless true a reporter
