Feat on Brooklyn Bridge.
New York, Jan. 23.-'Hundreds OF
persons on h Brooklyn bridge last
night were Mortified when they saw a
ma run out from the throng and start
to climb n of the big supporting ca
bles that extends from the shore ma
sonry to the top of the Manhattan
tower. The man did not hesitate, and
never for an instant seemed to appre-
ciate the danger Of immediate death.
Without a backward glance he climbed
up and up, now almost breaking into a
run, and again slowing up a little.
Once in a while lie would raise his
hands up to a couple OF smaller sup
porting cables hat follow the line of the
big steel rope upon which he walked,
as IL to steady himself, but he did not
| stop until he reached the point nearest
the big tower beyond which no one
| could go. Then he rested 1870 feet
above the surface OF the bridge road
way.
Meanwhile, a crowd Of several hum
fred persons had gathered to watch the
daring feat and traffic was blocked. A
policeman was sent TO bring the per-
former down. He did not travel so
rapidly, but finally rs gained the tow
er. where the man was standing, look
ing about him. The watcher below
expected to see a desperate fight on top
of the tower. but in this they were dis
appointed, for in a moment both men
were seen making the descent.
Half way down the man nearly COLI
lapsed. He threw UP his hands, hove
ever, and caught the smaller cables and

Tien Tsin, said to him one day:
Il should be very happy to have you
visit me In my nome in Japan after this
war is over, but l expect to be killed"
He was perfectly sincere and unaf-

tention to duty in the slightest. He
went wherever he was ordered as gaily
as IL 1T We're to a feast, no matter IL the
field was swept with bullets. Wher

Would you call 1t courage when such

against a stone wall, and, when he
can't get over at first. sits down and

"A Chicago Jury Bows In Prayer and
Then Acquits Prisoner.
Chicago, Jan. 23.-With prayers that
they might be guided wisely in their
deliberations, the members of q jury In
Judge Chetlain's court yesterday SOON
determined that Patrick Deehan was
not guilty of murder. The jury had no
more than retired when n OF the
members, William Fl. Dietz, a Sunday
school superintendent, who lives at
1902 Parnel avenue, arose and said:
Gentlemen, this is a most serious
duty before us. A human life hangs in
the balance awaiting but a word from
us to be made free or to be ended. ]
think that we ought to ask for courage
and for light. Let us kneel and ask
divine guidance in the duty we are I'M
dertaking."
The twelve men then dropped to their
knees and bowed their heads as MI.
Dietz offered the prayer.
Deehan was accused of the murder OF
John Linders, who was stabbed in the
hallway Of a building at IL South
Water street on July 12.S The murder
followed a quarrel concerning union
labor.
