document.

Soon the wielder of the meSaphone

ments, for the saloon which Steve
Brodie controlled until a few months
before his death, four years ago, is to
be RACED and on its site probably will
be erected a prosaic store which will
have over it no glamour except that
which comes from resting where once
stood what all the Bowery knew for
years as "Brodie's hangout."
Men who were intimate friends of
Brodie declare that he had piled up a
fortune of more than 100000 out Of
the little saloon, and that all Of it had
come from an original investment Of
5000 in connection with his leap"
from the Brooklyn bridge. That sum,
according to this informant, was paid
to the tug boat captain who partici-
pated in the rescue" of Brodie from
the waters of the East river, and who
thereafter discreetly confirmed every
detail of the story which the bridge
jumper" told to the admiring hun
dreds who crowded his saloon to hear
the thrilling story from his lips; to
see his marvellous gallery of prize
fighters portraits, and incidentally to
swell his bank account by purchasing
his liquors.
Although there was ample proof
that Brodie had never jumped of the
bridge, he stoutly maintained until his
dying day that his story was true.
