Five Dunked In Tar Pit In Boston
In Boston five people fell into a tar pit eight feet across and five feet deep left by a construction gang. Four year old John Sullivan and his seven year old brother Francis fell in while playing, their mother Geraldine entered to rescue, a passer-by named Herbert Foreman also helped, and Patrolman Louis Spina pulled out John and his mother.
