With the agility of a monkey. and heed

greasy ropes OF the elevator in the tower
OF the main building at Union Station yes
terday morning at . o'clock to evade TIVE
policemen who were trying to prevent him

Finally. from exhaustion. after being
chased UP and down the rope several
times, he released his hold Just as Pa

to the bottom. where he was picked up
unconscious.

man on the ropes shouted for them TO stay
away from him.
They're after me and want to kill me-
he exclaimed as he climbed little higher
Patrolman KelIeher tried to persuade
Hunt to get out of the shaft. but to no
