IN STRUGGLE WITH BURGLAR MAN LOSES LIFE
NEW YORK, April 26 (AP)—Jack Kaye, a fur salesman, is dead, a victim of his own tenacity in struggling with a burglar on the third story of the fire escape landing.
Mrs. Kaye heard a noise and awakened her husband, who found himself facing a burglar's flashlight. He made for the intruder, who retreated toward the fire escape and they grappled on a narrow landing and fell down one flight of stairs. On the landing below, the burglar managed to push Kaye over the railing, but the fur salesman kept a grip on the intruder's collar. Both fell to the walk below. Kaye's two sons, fourteen and twelve years old, saw the burglar run off holding his side, but found their father dead.
