Beforo they had reached the top a po- liceman came towards them brandishing his club and ordering them to “get down ot of that,” While he was talking with the young men a covered wagon containing Prof, Odlum and a companion stopped about one hundred feet behind the cab, Quickly divesting him. self of a blue flannel in which he was dressed, Odlum, clad in a red shirt and trunks jumped from the carriago and sprang lightly to the railine, Hoe quickly reached the top and pos- ing himself for a moment stood erect and glanced hurriedly at the eurface of the East river far below him, Poople on the bridge sent up a cry of horror when they saw the professor prepare to plunge off the bridge into the river 135 feet bencath his feet. The policeman now rushed toward the professor, but bafore he had gone a dozsn feet Odlum, without a moment’s hesitation had leaped from the railing out into the air He held one hand above his head as a rudder to guide him in his descent. The river below was at the moment clear of shippiog. A tug and schooner floated lazily in the stream several hundred yards below the bridge. The tug was filled with club men and reporters, COapt. Boynton stood near the prow and closely watched the bridge. The moment Odlum’s body was secn to leave the railing Harry E. Dixey, the actor, started a stop watch which he held in his hand in order to time the descent. for nearly 100 feet the pro. fessor came down_all right, feet foremost. He shot downward with thespeed of a meteor, his red suit making him_easily discernable for a long distance, When within thirty feet of the water his boly began to turn. As if realizing his danger, Odlum brought down his hand with a quick motion to aid him in recovericg his balarce, The moyvement,how- ever, waa too late, the body bad turned so far it was now impossible to clmnie: its course, Half a second later, with a mighty splash that threw up water on all sides as’if torn by a shell, Prof, Odlum’s body struck the water on one side and sank out of sight. A tug hur- riedly pushed itself forward to the place where the body fell, and Capt. Boynton, after sooung that life preservers had been thrown into the water, spravg over the side of the boat and waited for the body to come to the surface, Soon he saw the white face of the professor rising from the water and in & mo- ment was by his side. Seizing a life preserver near by he placed it beneath the body of the msensible professor. Blood mingled with froth came from the mouth of the daring man, A row boat soon came to the rescue and administered, After considerable rubbing, the eyes of the professor opened. ‘‘What kind of a jump did I make,” he whispered, he was placed on the presidential ticket with the great Kentuckyan, in_the campargn that rosulted in the election of James K.
