YOUNG WOMAN’S ACT
JUMPED OUT OF WINDOW
WHILE DETECTIVES SEARCH ROOM.
NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH. ■By Telegraph—Press Association.? AUCKLAND February 5. While detectives were searching her room tonight, a young woman threw herself through an open window on the second story of a house in Shortland Street, and fell nearly 20 feel on to the path below, injuring her back and suffering hurts which necessitated her removal to the Auckland hospital. Her condition is not serious. According to the available facts, the young woman, who is aged 21. was being questioned concerning the theft of certain articles from a city shop during the past three weeks. As is customary in such cases the police matron was present while two detectives searched her room. Before they could prevent it she suddenly ran to the window and flung herself out. Her cries roused the household from their evening meal, and when they went to the side of the house they found her lying on the garden path apparently seriously hurt. An ambulance took her to hospital. She narrowly escaped death, since a large rock immediately below her window was only a few inches from where her head lay on the path.
