 Helplessly the spectators stood by watching the jumper sprawl ing earthward at a terrific speed until he finally disappeared on the top of large canvas tent which covered the main show of a circus.
 McFadden landed on the can vas head downward, but escaped with slight concussion of the brain. II is expected he will be released from the hospital soon.
