 LOughlin to Rescue
 The man was suspended there for moment, but then started to pull away from MT. Shea. Help was at hand for the rescue forces, however, in the form of Junior Interviewer Frank Loughlin who jumped into the fray and with MT. Shea suc- ceeded in pulling the workman from the window to the floor.
 By this time the workman started to tire of playing" and commenced to brandish his huge wrench, which he later explained he intended to use in loosening the sign.
 PatroIman Carey Appears
 While the entire personnel of the compensation office, s well as several prospective beneflciaries were rush ing to the window--inspired by cur iosity or perhaps the desire to as James Carey raced into the office, having been sum- moned on an emergency call.
 The wrench was immediately taken from the workman, and an explanation demanded. Suicide" he scoffcd, Don't be crazy, only want to finish taking down that big sign. MT. Greenberg hired me to do It."
 Morris Greenbcrg Explains
 Morris Greenberg, operator of Napps clothing sign had been sum- moned by this time and he sup ported the unidentified workmans story. He said today that he did not know who the man was-that he had hired him to remove the sign when he walked into the store looking for odd jobs.
 Crowd Had Gathered
 Meanwhile large crowd had gathered on Bank street, attracted by the scuffle which took place i'm mediately before wide-open win dow, clearly discernible from be- low. The office Is situated on the second floor, and there is little probability that fall from that height would inflict fatal injuries.
 With the explanation completed by the workman, the compensat ton office returned once more to normal and the workman was allowed to chamber out on the window and loosen the sign.
 Torn Pants Only Regret
 Messrs. Shea and Loughlir. stood and watched him, grinning sheep- isly but nevertheless satisfied that they had acted quickly in an "emer- gency". It was a lot of fun. any how" said Mir. Shea today.
 Yeah, lot of fun," chimed in MT. Loughlin But what do l do about my torn pants"

Good Samaritan Proved UndOine
 Of Charlie

Lady Luck continued to spread her generous mantel over a local young man today--a young man who has been arrested twice and freed twice in as many days on charges of intoxication.
 He admitted to Judge T. F. Conway today that the first ar- rest was his own fault, but charged that "a good samaritan "a friend who he hadn't seen in ages" was responsible for his sec- ond arrest.
 Arraigned in city court yester- day he was released with a warn ing. Strangely, he was the first prisoner out of the cage yester- day-and first again today.
 T had intentions of going straight, judge" he said in a loud voice, but I just couldn't help myself" With must gusto he then informed Judge Conway that from now on he would follow the straight and narrow. First, how ever, he said that he wanted to narrate his happenings of yester- day which resulted in his re- arrest shortly after being re- leased.
 "Just after I walked out of this court-when Your Honor freed me yesterday" he com menced, T met a very good and old friend.
 He rushed up to me-" he con- tinued, shook hands with me and said. Hello Charley, how are you? haven't seen you in long time. How do you feel? Would you like a drink?'"
 "He was an old friend of mine and I just couldn't refuse" said Charley.
 We went down into the bushes at Library park and he gave me a couple of drinks from his bot tle."
 Without taking time out for breath, Charley launched for ward with his story. "Then my friend-I won't tell you his name because he Is 8 good friend--asked me if I was broke and when I told him l was, he gave me 6 dol- lar to buy another bottle.
 He must have noticed I need cd a shave" said Charley, flor he brought me to a barber shop and paid the barber for shaving me.
 From the barber shop he said he wanted to buy me a cold bolt of bere, and 50 1 guess he must have" concluded Charley.
 Tt looks to me as if you met a good samaritan and overdid it." commented Judge Conway as he dismissed Charley. Co to work and don't pal around with any more friends today" he warned.

CHISEL CRIME IS
 DECIDED TODAY

Raleigh. N. C., Aug. (UP)- Coroner Roy M. Banks decided to- day that w. c. O'Connell, 61, an employed carptenter. had climbed onto bench, held a chisel against the bald spot on his head, and dived head-iirst to the floor of his workshop. thus driving the chisel four inches into his skull.
 He listed the death as suicide, and said the cause probably was that O'Connell had been suffering severe headaches as the result of an injury. It was at first believed that a hatchet, found near the body, had been used to drive the chisel into O'Connell's head and a physi- clan had doubted that O'Connell could have killed himself in that manner.

VALENTINO TOMB
 AGAIN IS VISITED

Continued from Page D CTS from removing the flowers from his grave.
 Rosary On Crypt
 A young man who said he was from Memphis. Tenn, placed ros- ary below the crypt containing Valentines ashes. Miss Emma Lieut. geb of Salzburg, Austria, sent flow CTS, as she has each August 23rd for 12 years. Roses came from Miss Fanny Lichtenfield or Richmond Va. from the Valentino Memorial Guild of England, and from many other women and organizations of women to whom the name of Valen- tino symbolized the word roman tic".
 Flowers and letters came from such diverse places as Philadelphia, London, Great Falls, Mont, Kansas City and Indianapolis. Roger Peter son, the caretaker who has written a book about Valentino and who contributes articles regularly to movie magazines about the man who rose from restaurant bus boy to the movies most passionate lover, was hard put to find room for all the blossoms.
 Yelled Woman Coming
 This is a great day for the mem ory of Valentino" he said, were it not for the reports of press agen- try concerning the woman in black. Every year, except last, this myster- ious yelled woman has come to pay tribute at the tomb. She is real woman, but am pledged not to reveal her name, nor even to hint at her story"
 Peterson said she would take her place at the crypt before the day was over, despite reports that one of Hollywood's best known press agents imagined her, thereby start a tale which has gone on through the years. The press agent only smiled.
 Valentino's name has been in the newspapers often recently. Eariy in the spring, movie exhibitors dis covered that Valentino picture, such as "The Shiek" or "The Son of a Shiek," would attract larger audi ences than many current movies.
 Revives Picture
 The revived interest in Valentino indi1ced prodiIcer Edward Small tO sign Jack Dunn to star in picture detailing Valentino's life. Hardly had Dunn reported at the studio before he became i'll and died
 Miss Jean Acker, Valentines former wife who has been working as movie extra, signed a request to the governor, asking whether ne could sponsor law forcing movie actors to save their money while they had 1t. Some believed she was the mysterious woman in black, but the caretaker said no.

quoted Maloney.
 Schultz offered 60-40 division basis, Weinberg said, and when Ma loney objected that 40 per cent was too small a "cut" for him, the Dutchman said:
 q need 60 per cent because I've got quite a lot of people to take care of. I've got to take care of Jimmy Hines and others. I've got to take care of protection for my people"
 Defense Counsel Lloyd Paul Stryker objected to testimony con- corning Schultz remarks about Ma loney,s alleged visit to Hines. and Supreme Court Justice Ferdinand Pecora ordered that particular bit stricken out.
