TENEMENT
By Associated Press.
New^ York, Nov. 3.—Two members
of the Shapiro family were killed,
father and mother, and three of their
lour children were badly hurt today
when they jumped from windows on
the second floor to escape the flames
that destroyed a Brooklyn tenement
house.
When flames trapped the Shapiros
a policeman climbed on the comice
over the first story and told Julius
Shapiro, the father, to hand down
his four children, aged from 15
months to 16 years. The baby went
first ahd the policeman caught it.
Then Shapiro tried to hand out
nine j’ear old Aaron. The boys weight
proved more than hec ould manage
and he fell from the window with
hip son in his arms. The father’s
brains were dashed out on the pave
ment, while the boy escaped with a
broken ankle.
This calamity seemed to unner^e
other members of the family and al
though they could have been rescued
had they waited, one by one they
leaped from the windows.
