OF the Visitation. Joined the p~arleyins
party. but was snubbed.
Relief time came for Policeman Tay-
lor, and Policeman John Gaffney o his
place on the wolcott street root. His
parleyings were as futile as the rest,
so he pulled his way up to the roof oi

LEAPS OFF ROOF

APPARENTLY UNHURT.
Just Why John Barker Did the
Sensational Stepping of
Trick Nobody Knows.
APPARENTLY UNHURT.

No knows why John Barker. who
lives on the Shore road and Nlnety-sev-
enth street, Fort Hamilton. should have
selected the roof of the four-story tene-
ment at No. i6c Richard street. South
Brooklyn. as the best place from which
to jump to break his neck, but after
he got there, before s o'clock this morn
ing. he made sure that the whole neigh
borhood Mould know that he was on
the job. He stood right out on the
coping Tapping his wings like another
chandelier and proclaiming In n voice
louder than a megaphone that In Just
about another minute he was going to
jump.
Watch me go. people. watch me co."
he yelled. I've come to the jumping
of place. and It's of I am going"
Barker kept this up until he had
hlled the windows with men. women
and children. who Joined IN a chorus
OF pleading that he refrain. They
didn't say 1t that way. though: they
put 1t far more strongly and pictur-
esQuely. coupled with commands that
he shut his mouth and let decent peo-
pie enjoy their peace, undlsturbed by
the sight of a mangled and broken
body underneath their windows.
Go away and jump somewhere else.'
came a suggestion. But Barker re-
Piled
"Nun-no, this Is the place from which
I jump. and I am going in Just a min
ute"
