CLIMBER ARRESTED
AFTER stunt HERE
Daredevil Johnny" Reynolds Is Ac-
cused of Obstructing Traffic.

Just as he was about to re-enter
the Barrister Building yesterday
afternoon after he had descended
from climb UP the side, Dare
deyir' Johnny Reynolds was placed
under arrest by two policemen on
charge of blocking traffic.
Reynolds had just taken up a
collection to defray expenses con-
nected with his feat when he was
accosted and placed under custody
by two policemen.
The next stage of his act was to
be the hanging by his heels from
the edge of the roof OF the build
ing.
With his customary nonchaIance,
Reynolds had made the climb to the
top of the structure by means of a
two-inch indentation in the wall.
n thousand wide-eyed Washington
ians who had gathered around
seventh and II streets yesterday
afternoon after an announcement
of the fearless act by Reynolds had
been made, were on hand when he
started up the side.
Reynolds delivered short, i'm
pressive speech on a ledge twelve
informed the crowd OF his inten-
tion to join the United States army
as an aviator.
When he had attained a height of
fifty feet above The ground the
human caterpillar swung out from
the wall with his feet. maintaining
his hold only by eight small fin
gers.
When he arrived on the roof of
the building Reynolds took a flag
up the fiagpole with him. The
people blocking the street below
cheered when the small form of the
man at the top OF the pole waved
the flag back and forth before them.
Reynolds performed his feat of
balancing himself on a chair. The
arrest of Reynolds was the first of
his life. He started in as a Jug
gler some years ago. but has been
climbing since he was nve years of
age. Many of the tallest buildings
of the United States have been scaled
by the human caterpillar"
