FALLS II STORIES; LIVES
Workman's Legs Broken in Mu-
nicipal Building Accident.

Several hundred bags Of sand avertei
another fatal accident being added 20
the list since the erection of the new
Municipal Building. John Brunnen, a
marble helper, twenty-six years Old
living at No 72S East 10th street. -
in the Hudson Street Hospital, and al
though both OF his legs are broken the
surgeons said late last night that he
had an even chance of recovery.
BrunLen Is employed by Joseph L.
Coyle. a contractor. who is doing work
on the building. A few minutes before
> o'clock Coyle came around and m
formed Brunnen that it was time 10
knock off," A few minutes later Coyle
was attracted by screams coming from
the workingmen downstairs.
He found Brunnen lying at the bot
tom of the elevator shaft, having fallen
a distance of seventeen stories. or lit
tie more than two hundred feet. When
Coyle reached his side Brunnen was
sitting leisurely smoking cigarette,
as II nothing unusual had occurred.
He was taken To the Hudson Street
J ipital.
Il was the opinion of Coylc and yhe
police that the accident was probably
due to Brunnen tripping over a rope or
a -scaffold near the elevator shaft.
