DIM DARING LEAP TO
WIN "MOVflf CONTRACT
Hundreds of Friends See ?hila
delphian Jump to Death
From Brooklyn Bridge.
Tollce tugs aro dragging the East River
beneath Brooklyn bridge, iew York, tb
day, for the body of Henry Clarke, fi.
rhltadelphlan, who was Instantly Hilled
yesterday when he Jumped from high up
In the towering cables of tho bridge.
Clarke made the Jump, believing the no
toriety would aid him to get a contract
with a motion picture company,
Clarko wns a machinist, ilo lived at
3S33 Lancaster avenue, nnd w.ib employed
In the West Philadelphia shops of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, A year ago ho
Jumped from tho Spring Garden street
bridge over the Schuylkill River to win ft
bet of $50. He also had Jumped from a
bridge In Harrlsburg.
Before going to New York Saturday
nlplit-with his wife and a party of friends
nnd fellow employes, Clarke sought td
make a contract with motion-picture
companies In this city. Ho failed. Then
ho came to tho conclusion that thd
reputation ho would get from making the
Jump would result m contracts for film
work, and also for high dives nnd Jumps
at summer resorts and fairs.
Several hundred employes of tho Penn
sylvania Rallrond Company, friends of
Clarke, went to New York yesterday
morning on an early train. They lined
the promenade of Brooklyn Bridge and
tho piers of Manhattan Island and Brook
lyn, south of the bridge to see Clarke
make his Jump.
Clarke's friends believe his haste In
making tho plunge caused his death.
Three bluecoats started to pursue him
when he was about 20 feet up the cables
along the promenade In the centre of the
bridge. Ho climbed llko an expert At
though weighed down by tho lead ha
had put In his shoes In the belief It would
prevent his body from turning even If he
lost his nerve, he made rteady progress.
It was ralntng and the rabies were slip
pery, but Clargo did not falter.
Tho news of tho pursuit spread qutckly.
Thousands of men nnd women were rush
ing from tho Manhattan end of tho
Brooklyn bridge as Clarko ascended the
cables, followed by Martin, a policeman.
A tugboat, moored at a Brooklyn pier
end, started Its whistle blowing, and hun
dreds of women screamed at Clarke to
wait. Martin thought Clark was Insane.
He cnlled to him constantly to wait, but
Clarke paid no attention.
Tho spot from which Clarke Jumped Is
about 183 feet above the wntcrs of the
East River. This Is tho highest Jump
ever attempted from Brooklyn bridge,
where dozens of men have sought to
emulate tho exploits of Stovo Brodle, the
llrst man to Jump from tho bridge.
Martin was less than 20 feet away and
climbing recklessly when Clarke halted,
standing up on ono of the thin lateral
cables,
"Go back!" yelled Clarke, "I know
what I'm doing."
Then folding his arms hoJumped. His
body remained erect oa he shot down
ward until he had almost reached the
water. Then It was seen to waver slight
ly. Suddenly It turned over and Clarke
struck on his back. He disappeared In a
cloud of spray and then shot up as
though bouncing. Then the 'body sank.
It has not yet been recovered.
Bridge policemen think the height of
the Jump with the strong wind that was
blowing nnd the rain rendered Clarke un
conscious beforo ho hit the water. They
say this probably caused his body to
turn. It Is believed his back was broken
by the impact.
Small boats and -tugd shot out from
both sides Of tho river as Clarice Btruck
the water. They cruised around the spot
for n half hour, awaiting for the body to
rlso to the surfaco. Then police tugs
with grappling irons took up the work.
Mrs. Clarke returned to her homo in
this city after being questioned by the
police. She said she had tried In vain to
dissuade her husband from the attempt;
She remained at the Manhattan end of
the bridge, her friends going to the foot
of Dover street. It was not until after
Clarke had Jumped that she ventured to
tlie river's edge.
