TURNS SLEUTH,
LANDS PRISONER
But Learns from Court He
Can't Collect Debt That
Way.

John Marks, a butcher. of 80 Jack
son street, turned sleuth today, and
although he succeeded in landing his
prisoner before the bar at the Third
precinct station, he was unable to
convict him.
1t all came about in this way:
Stanislaus Biskowski, of 8 Clover
street, owes Marks $3.50 for goods
purchased in the latter's butcher
shop. Last night Marks learned that
his debtor was planning a trip to
Mt. Carmel, Pa.
Accordingly he decided to lie in
wait for Biskowski to try to collect
the money due him.
When Biskowski insisted that he
did not have the money Marks
hustled him to the Third Precinct
Court, a block away.
Biskowski told Judge Hahn that he
had been out of work and had been
unable to pay his butchers bill. He
had been promised a job in Mt. Car
mel. he said, and all he had was
enough to purchase a ticket. The
court refused to take a complaint
against him.

MOTOR BUS in CRASH IN
FRONT OF ASTOR HOME
Passengers Narrowly Escape
Being Crushed to Death.

NEW YORK. Aug. S.-A dozen per-
sons narrowly escaped being killed
last night in front of the Aston man.
sion in Fifth avenue. A Fifth avenue
motor bus, after collision with a
motor truck, crashed with such great
force into the iron and granite fence
around the mansion that the iron and
stone were torn ava and the motor
bus poised on the brink of an area
way several feet deep.
Four persons, who were slightly in
jured in the accident. were treated
by nurses who have been in attend
anee at the. Astor home upon the
coloneIs widow. 1t was regarded as
miraculous that the motor bus did
not fall owe the ledge. Had it fallen
into the areaway the passengers on
top would nave probably been
crushed.
