Article Text: New York, Oct. 27.--The police reported today that the excellent fastenings on Alexander FRANK's wooden leg alone prevented him from committing suicide. Crowds on Second avenue this morning were startled to see him handing head downward from a fifty story window with another man clutching one of his legs to restrain him from breaking away and casting himself into the street. The leg, of stout oak, was so well hitched that it held until Frank was lassoed and pulled back into the window. He was taken to a hospital for observation. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com
