PAL|SADE BOY, ACE 10, DROWNED
Continued from page 1

arrival the physicians removed the
lads clothing and did everything
known to the medical profession to re-
store life. Thomas Fredericks of Pal
isade rushed to Edgewater with
Frank Kaufer and borrowed pulmo-
tor from the Edgewater fire company.
A large crowd of several hundred peo-
pie gathered at the scene of the fatali-
ty and watched in trembling silence
the valiant efforts of the doctors who
were fighting the grim reaper.
Shows Signs of Life
Despite the com paratively long pc
riod the body was under water, it's
detect a faint heart beat, and it is
said that at one period Immediately
prior to his removal to the hospital
he was heard to gasp slightly.
Dies in Hospital
At the hospital everything possible
was done to bring him back to life,
and the doctors worked without hesi-
tating for many hours. A little be-
fore midnight all signs of life were
gone and Thomas Braaz passed on to
the Great Beyond.
Parents Heartbroken
Shortly after the fateful accident
had occurred the boys mother rushed
frantically to the scene of the TRACE
dy and upon seeing the lad was grief
stricken. She yielded to the plead
ings of friends and returned to her
home on Columbia avenue.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Braaz are heart
broken, and the deepest sympathy of
every man. woman and child goes out
to them in the hour of their bereave-
ment.
A LovabIe Lad
Thomas was the only child of his
parents, and he was loved by his
many young friends and the teachers
in the Palisade school, which he at
tended. He was considered especially
intelligent and was often chosen by
his teachers for special work that re-
quired extraordinary ability. He was
a manly chap, possessing many fine
qualities and could be depended upon
to perform properly any task assign
ed to him.
Heroic Work
Every soul connected with the re-
covery of the body and the effort to
resuscitate deserve much credit and
praise, for in those few anxious hours
when a life hung in the balance self
interest was forgotten and human eff
fort was directed by the Golden Rule.
Buried on Thursday
The body was brought to his late
home on Tuesday last and interment
Palisadian., 1925-05-01

was made in Fairview after funeral
services in the Grantwood Trinity
Lutheran church at $3.50 o'clock on
Thursday afternoon. Rev. Schwartz
pastor of the church, officiated and
funeral arrangements were in charge
of the S. r. Sharpe Co., of Union Hill
There were scores of floral tributes
sent including beautiful wreath
from his classmates
A Dangerous Spot
The scene of the tragedy has been
for long time an exceedingly danger
Gus spot. AS stated it is ON the north
west corner of Anderson avenue and
the Hudson river trolley line and the
pool itself is located about 100 feet
back from Anderson avenue and about
80 feet over from the car track. 1t
is an accumulation of rain water vary
feet and is murky from sediment,
leaves and other debris. The hole
was made by quarrying stone and
was never filled in nor protected in
any way. j. Calderone of Jersey ave-
nue., Fairview, the owner, some time
ago, constructed a syphon pipe to
drain the water. This pipe worked
satisfactorily for many months and
then failed to function because of
leaks and stoppage by dead leaves
Immediately following the accident
the Fort Lee fire apparatus pumped
a part of the water out and the fol-
lowing morning the syphon pipe was
now is practically dry. A policeman
was put on guard all of Monday night
and all day Tuesday.
Many children have been in the
habit of playing at the spot and the
neighbors, fearing for their safety,
have warned them time and time
again of the danger.
Legal authorities say that it is not
police matter, being on private
property, and the local police heads
have no jurisdiction over the case. It
does, however, come within the juris-
diction of the Board of Health in that
any deep and stagnant pool is dan
gerous to health.
Little hope, is expressed for dam
ages through civil action in that the
pool is on private property where
trespassing is not permitted.
A Similar Case
Some OIL the older residents recall
a similar case in Cliffside a number
of years ago where two youngsters,
a man and horse lost their lives in
quarry pool and mo one was able to
hold the owners for damages, the
quarry being on private property.

Stradivari and shows him to have been

by the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. December 9.-Ira Perry,
jr. son of wealthy parents, given a
life sentence in prison in April. 1922,
for murder in hold-up. has been re-
leased from the Joliet Penitentiary
on parole, 1t was disclosed today. Po-
lice officials and prosecutors who said
young Perry had confessed two muir
ders and about 60 hold-ups, which
netted some $500 900, said they had
received no notice of the parole, which
was made effective October 81. The
victims In both instances were jewel
crs. Perry pleaded guilty.
A plea for leniency before the sen
fencing judge brought a life term
instead of death. The pardon board
first committed the judges sentence
to the equivalent of a manslaughtcr
conviction, word from Springfield
said.
The parole board took the stand
that Perry was forced to drive the
automobile used by the robbers and
was ignorant of their purpose; that
he remained outside the jewelry store
while the murder was committed and
was induced to shoulder the blame
because of threats against his family.
