CUT Of HOTEL WINDOW
BUT DOESN'T AWAKE
WALKS THROUGH BLIZZARD,
LIGHTLY CLAD INTO WOMAN'S
HOUSE

New Brunswick, N. J., Dec 12.-Al-
bert Hannigan, Princeton student, is
met what you would call light sleep
or. Here is the tale that he told in
Judge Houghton's court today:
Hannigan was sleeping on the Sec
ond floor of the Mansion house In
brass bed and a suit of mauve paja-
mas. In his slumber he walked to the
window and fell out on the cobble>
stone pavement, He lit without bruis-
ing his head on the cobblestones and
without missing note of his snoring.
In a winter wind that had blizzard
edge on it, Hannigan communicated
to SIS Washington street Finding the
doorbell out OF order, Hannigan forced
open the door, curled up and continued
his nap on the startled rug in the par.
lor. There he was found by a masj
who phoned for the police, as soon az
she recovered from her surprise.
go on away and Let me Sleep" said
flanagan when the police shook him
into a state of semi-consciousness 81
didn't want to be called until TO-"
He finally got his eyes open and they
robbed the patrol horses for blankets
to wrap him in. A secondhand cloth
ing dealer supplied what looked like
masquerade costume for Hannigan's
appearance before the court.
Judge Haughton discharged the
prisoner after ordering him to quit
falling out of hotel windows in his
mauve pajamas.
