                    FOUR FOOT FALL BREAKS MAN'S NECK

        W. A. Williams, of Berkley, Meets Death in Unusual Manner

W.A. Williams, aged about 85, died early last night as the result of a broken 
neck sustained when he fell from the porch of his rooming house at 503 State 
Street, Berkley.
Detective Leon Nowitzky, who investigated the death for the city coroner, 
learned that Mr. Williams was sitting in a swing on the porch when last seen 
alive.  He had apparently walked to the railing of the porch, leaned over too 
far and lost his balance.  His neck was broken when his head struck the pavement 
less than four feet below the railing.
G.J. Brent, of Maple Avenue, Berkley, found the man lying in the street and 
called for assistance to take him indoors.  He died a few minutes after being 
taken to his room.
Williams has a sister living in Greenville, N.C., who was notified of the 
accidental death of her brother last night.  The body was removed to the funeral 
parlors of E. Lee Cox, Berkley, pending instructions from Greenville.
