Falls Six Stories But Will Survive ■. . 1 NEW YORK (UPI) — For 10 terrifying minutes while his older brother clutched his wrists, little i Jimmy Hughes dangled outside the apartment house window six stories off the ground—and then t he fell. But 13-year-old Jimmy will live to tell the nightmarish tale, doctors at Mt. Sinai Hospital predicted today, because the grass courtyard on which he crashed cushioned his fall just enough. He’ll be a long time recovering ; from painful injuries, but he’ll live, they said. And it all happened because Jimmy was afraid his dad would give him a licking. Jimmy hadn’t expected to see his father. Walter Hughes Sr., at home when he returned from school at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday. But there was dad, and he was all upset about reports Jimmy had been misbehaving in school. So Jimmy thought he’d scare dad out of a licking. He ran to a sixth-floor window and sat on the window ledge. His father was frightened. Hoping to lure Jimmy back from the ledge before anything happened, the elder Hughes told him, "I’m not going to hit you—and to prove it I’m leaving the house right now.” And he walked out. Jimmy tried to get back into th'e room but he slipped. As he fell he caught the window ledge with his hands and held on. And he screamed. That brought his 15-year-old brother Walter Jr. on the run from another room. Walter grabbed Jimmy’s wrists and held on as long as he could, but then his grip slipped and Jimmy fell. Jimmy’s dad didn’t see him fall. From down below he’d seen Walter Jr. holding Jimmy’s wrists and he was trying to get back upstairs as fast as he could. But by the time he arrived, it was too late. Walter Jr. was screaming in horror. Down below Jimmy’s crumpled form lay in the courtyard. A doctor and an attendant from Mt. Sinai Hospital, directly across the street, gave Jimmy first aid and then took him into the hospital on a stretcher. The medical verdict after Xrays and other tests: A fractured right hip and right ankle and possible internal injuries. But he’ll live, the doctors say.
