George McCreery, who is employ
ed at Judge Farrington's office in the
Federal Building, has been making a
habit, during spare time, OF crawling
out on the ledge OF the third story OF
the building, where he would read
his text in Blackstone. He made the
trip to the favored seat this morning
and in some unexplainabl manner
the window closed on him leaving
him on the narrow ledge. He whis-
tied. hollered and made all kinds OF
noise TO attract the attention OF pass
ers by on the street They could
not see him and he was forced to re-
main in the position for over three
hours before someone heard his call
and raised the window which had
locked as it came down The young
man will conduct his reveries and
studies in safer position in the fu-
