Jumps From Third Story.

Newcastle, July 19.—Ollie Skinner leaped from a third story window at his home and escaped without injury while an officer, who had accompanied him there to secure cash bond, stood close by. Skinner had been arrested for keeping a gambling house, and, having on a previous appearance for the same offense, been promised a jail sentence by the mayor, took a desperate chance to escape.
