An exciting chase was that which re-
suited in the capture of man who calls
himself William Emmett and gives No
234 West Forty-ninth street, New York,
as his place of residence.
He was acting suspiciously last evening
on South and Washington streets, in Ho-

He sped across the meadows and up to the
Washington Village Heights.
He was still closely pursued, but led his
pursuer lively chase till brought up with
round turn at the edge of the Palisades.
There was no escape there. One step
beyond was the perpendicular, steep cliff,
fifty feet high.
His hesitation was for only second
climbing to the low guard wall he leaped
over.
TO the surprise of his pursuer he was
able to climb to his feet, landing in the
quarry below and resumed his run for
liberty.
An alarm was given that summoned as
sistence in the pursuit, and he was finally
overtaken and arrested by Officer Short.
This is the story of the pursuit as sup
piled by the Hoboken police
The Webster avenue police, who have
the man in custody, say they have not
heard anything about his leap over the
Palisades.
