Prodigal Seeking Death Forgiven by Family
Frederick Ferguson of 253 East Meth street leaped from a balustrade at 2085 Second avenue last night intending reconciliation with his estranged family of parents and five sisters. He survived, was taken to Harlem Hospital and will seek release from Harlem court today. He had been sent to the Island for a minor offense, then spurned by his family, and after a failed appeal for forgiveness he borrowed clothesline, tied it to the baluster, and jumped, his body shocking neighbors. Patrolman Rawley summoned Dr. Bennett as Ferguson was brought to the station.
