A Hawaiian Man Jumps From Theater Roof in Aala Lane
A native Hawaiian known as Aka leaped from the rooftop of the old Chinese theater in Aala lane yesterday afternoon. He fell about fifty feet, breaking his thigh at the joint, and survived the fall with aid from a wire line and a friend. Police tried to coax him down for hours as a crowd gathered, while a separate incident involved a taxi driver and a Chinese lodging-house fight after Aka’s attempt. The episode stemmed from a quarrel with his wife, with police involvement and fear for a woman and infant in danger.
