FALLS FROM FOURTH STORY.
George Harrison Rolls From His Bed
While Asleep.

The sensations experienced in falling
from a fourth-story window are seldom re-
lated by those who have made so unusual
a drop. Mr.. George Harrison of 1135 9th
street, however. qualified last night in that
respect. In some manner he rolled from
his bed, out of a window and tumbled with
a crash into an areaway. nearly fifty feet
below. His head was cut and two ribs were
broken, but he is now quietly resting at the
Emergency Hospital, and believed to be
past all danger. Unless there is some seri-
Gus result from the shock, Mr.. Harrison
will soon be little the worse for his dam
gerous fall.
Mr.. Harrison is a carpenter. who recently
came to this city from Fredericksburg,
Va. He lives in the apartment house man
aged by his cousin, 3. F. Cox, at the ad
dress given above. l.. b. Pendleton, living
next door, heard crash in the areaway
late last night and afterward thought he
distinguished means. Together with Geo.
w. Rider he secured light and went into
the areaway, where he found Harrison in
a heap The latter was perfectly con-
scious. He was taken at once to the hos
pital. Harrisons bed is near a large WIN
dow. and it is supposed he rolled out while
sleeping.

Manslaughter Case Against Him.
Discontinued Today.
HIS WIFE WAS FOUND DEAD.
Because Of Reports That He Assaulted Her
He Was Placed Under Arrest
STORY He TOLD CORONER LINCOLN
Maintained He Was Not Home Between 10 O'CLOCK
IN Morning and 5 in Afternoon Of DAY
On Which Wife Died.
Because Of Reports That He Assaulted Her
He Was Placed Under Arrest.
STORY he TOLD CORONER LINCOLN.

The case against David O'Connor who
was arraigned on January 20 charged
with manslaughter, in having caused
the death of Mary O'Connor, his wife,
who was found dead at their home on
Wickenden street on January is, was
discontinued by Judge Sweetland IN the
district court this morning and O'con.
nor is now free TO go where he pleases,.
there being nothing more to hold him
for.
Last Monday afternoon OConnor was
put through a very rigid examination
by Coroner Lincoln. The questioning
was continued for "a hours. Lawyer
Gillbain, counsel for O'Connor. was
present Through all the interrogations
of the coroner O'Connor told practical-
ly the same story. He did not waver q
particle. He told of going out to his
work on the morning of January Is.
for John II. White q Co, the coal deal
ers, for whom he drove team. He told
OF reaching the barn he was informed
that as business was dull there would
be no work that day. He then cleaned
his horses and waited for a call for his
team. None came and at 3 o'clock he
went to his house. Stayed there for
time, went out and had his hair cut. and
ABOUT % CLOCK went DUCK 10 w nlle
barn. There was yet no work for him
and he remained there off and on until
About o'clock when he went TO the Of
flee of Doe & Little. coal dealers and
got a job. Then he returned TO Whites
TO notify the latter that he had secured
another job. He then went home and
found his wife was out. Shortly after
ward he went after his little boy and
finally returned home and lay down on
his sofa. There he remained until the
officers came to place him under arrest.
He stoutly maintained that he had not
been in the house, between 10 o'clock
and after o'clock. Mrs. OConnor's
body was found at the foot of a flight
Of stairs on the outside of the rear Of
the house.
One thing Is Of interest in the case.
O'Connor has buried three children in
the past few years. But despite thar
fact, ii was found that he had bank
account of very considerable proper
tions for a laboring man. That would
seem TO indicate that he was not in the
