Samuel Brooks, bather at Audubon
Beach, thought it would be smart to
upset three girls who were rowing in
boat nearby, and he and companion,
securing opposite ends of the boat,
rocked it in spite of the girls protests,
until it upset and all three were in
The water. Then the toughs left the
girls to help themselves. Swimmers
reached them just in time to save them
from drowning.
Brooks was more unfortunate than
mis- companion, who escaped He reach
ed shore to find a mob awaiting him,
and was beaten with umbrellas, sticks
and fists until the police found it diftl-
cut matter to rescue him. He would
probably have been killed but for that

fell five stories to the street below. In

struck head first and was killed. The in
