Pursued Tailor Leaps Off IL
To Auto, Then Bounces to Street

Alex Urbanuff, altogether the luckiest
and most active tailor who ever fell
into the hands of the police, was taken
to St. Johns Hospital, Long Island City,
last night several hours after he had
survived, apparently unhurt, a series
of most remarkable acrobatic feats un-
dertaken in an effort to escape arrest.
He was at the Bridge Plaza station
in Long Island City late yesterday af-
ternoon when Mrs. Mary Howell, of 1922
Crescent Street, Long Island City, from
whom a purse containing $40 had been
snatched in the crowd short time be-
fore, stepped up to him and accused
him of the theft.
Don't make such noise about il" !"
Urbanuff told her, she said, thrusting
$40 into her hand. "Here's your
money"
Mrs. Howell seized him by the arm,
however, and called for help. Although
about her, they edged away from the
couple, and Urbanuff was wrestling him
self out of her grasp when a special
patrolman put his hand on his shout
der. The touch put new and miracu-
lous vigor into the tailor.
Tearing himself loose so suddenly
that both tie woman and the special
ratrolman were sent reeling, he leaped
to the elevated tracks and started back
toward jackson Avenue, running on the
ties between the rails of the westbound
track.
The special patrolman and two other
men started in pursuit, running ON the
fc~ ~ beside the tracks.

approaching and the three pursuers

however, kept doggedl on until the

Then the watchers saw him suddenly
vanish.
He had dropped between the ties to
the diagonal viaduct which passes be-

He landed neatly on the top Of an auto
mobile which was passing and bounced
lightly from its resilient fabric to the
roadway.
