WOMAN FELL SIX STORIES

Tumbled to Her Death and Fatally Crushed Neighbor Sitting on Steps Below. New York. —In trying to step from .the fire escape platform of one building to that of an adjoining one to. enter her rooms, Mrs. Mary Falvey slipped and fell six stories to the sidewalk. On the doorstep directly beneath was sitting Charles McNally, a neighbor. -He was talking to Mrs. Falvey’s six little children, who had remained below while their mother went to open the door, from the Inside, having forgotten her keys. When Mrs. Falvey fell she uttered no cry and there was no warning below that she was falling. Her body struck the back of McNally’s neck, doubling him over'so that his forehead hit the sidewalk. The back of Mrs. Falvey’s head hit the doorstep and she rolled off McNally’s body, striking the feet of her children. Both were dead of broken necks when picked up.
