Fnsco was employed by the Com

reservoir to help repair a leak in the
walls. They went out in a boat. II.
T. Kelley. a mason Of Summit. :

patches, and Frederick Green, super
'ntendent of the water department of
the Commonwealth concern. was on
hand to direct the work.
Green and Kelly were standing on
the walls when they heard shouts
from Fusco and Iannella and Their
saw the boat upset. Kelley ran and
got rope, which he threw to the men
in the water. In the struggle Fusco
became exhausted before he could
either reach the rope or get back to

Green to assist him. Iannella man.

was dragged to safety by Green and
Kelley. The fact that the walls of the
reservoir afforded no ledge or other
foothold made the work of rescue very
difficult

allow Fuseo and Iannella repair the

Fusco had been in the employ of the

believed that the cause of the acct

there after an aunt, with whom he
had been living with for month,
had complained that he had stolen
some change from her purse. The
police found her charge apparently
ungrounded and suspected that she
had merely wished to relinquish her
guardianship of Jimmie.
The boys mother died four years
ago and his father, two years ago.
He has three sisters, one eight years
old and the other two older than him
self. The two elder children, who
live in Chadwick avenue, this city,
supported Jimmie for time, but lack
of work finally brought them to such
a stress that the boy had to shift for
himself.
The manly, upright bearing of the
little fellow enchanted the policemen
the first day he spent in the station
house, Sergeant John Coleman, who
has the same last name, but is not re-
lated to him, took a fancy to him
from the first, and the other men soon
made him the pet of the force.
He will remain the guest of the
police force until the chief finds a
good home for him..
