FELL DOWN BRIDGE SHAFT
Policeman's Son Drops One Hun

Richard Duggan, seventeen years old Of
Patrolman Patrick Duggan. OF the West One
hundred nd-ffty-second-st. station, whose
home was at No. 395 Audubon-ave was al
most instantly killed yesterday afternoon. by
falling a hundred feet through the shaft Of
the first support on the Manhattan side Of the
Washington Bridge. Almost every bone in his
body was broken. including fractures OF his
skull and both legs. and he died before an am
bulance surgeon could reach him.
Young Duggar, with another boy, named
Frank McIntee, who lives at One-hundred-and-
eightieth-st and Amsterdam-ave.. climbed
the support about the middle of the afternoon
to hunt pigeons. These birds nest In the top
OF the support of the bridge all the year round,
and the boys Of the neighborhood have made II
their source Of sport and amusement to harry
them with sticks and stones. They are forbid
den to climb the support. and a Waterman IS
supposed to be duty at the foot. on the
Speedway. TO keep them out, but they often
evade him and reach the platform at the top
Of the shaft.
Duggan and his companion. whose nickname
IS "Pickaninuy.' managed to elude the watch
man and reach the top, where for while they
amused themselves in frightening and chasing
the pigeons. While doing this Duggan Ieaped
across the opening OF the shaft. which IS about
five feet wide at the top. He missed his foot
ing and fell sQuarely into the hole. AS he felt
himself going down he grabbed wildly at the
sides of the opening and shouted 10 his COM
paniOn. Help me, Pick " but McIntee was too
late to help him. He ran down the stairs. and
the bottom Of the shaft found his friend lying
in a heap, with his whole frame shattered by
the force Of his hundred foot fall on a floor OF
hard concrete.
Duggan was only partly conscious. but he
managed to whisper family, 4" Pick go and tell
my father" and that was ALL McIntee sought
help, and found Patrolnan Nearim, of the West
One-hundred- and ffty-second-st station, who
called ambulance from the J. Hood Wright
Hospital Duggan was dead. however, when the
ambulance surgeon arrived
When the body, by permission OF the Coroner
was removed to the boys home, his father who
is the driver OF the patrol wagon at the West
hundred and fifty -secOnd-st. station, was
informed. He overcome by his grief, and
the mother was Frustrated. Young Duggan was
graduated from a public school last June, and
was attending 4 business college in Harlem.
