Boy Says Dad Threw
Him Out Window
NEW YORK. July 4 (—An
eight-year-old boy, found moaning
on the sidewalk last night with a
broken ankle, accused his father
of hurling him from a third-floor
window in a drunken rage
The father 39-year-old Martin
Conway, a GI student at a cooks
and bakers school, denied the
charge
"I don’t know anything about it
it didn't happen,” he told po-
lice who booked him on a charge
of felonious assault.
- The boy, Donald Conway, was
taken to Roosevelt Hospital with
a broken left ankle. Doctors said
he may also have a fractured
skull
Police said he told them his fa.
ther "had three or four beers and
got mad at me " and then threw
him from the window.
Donald said he hit a restaurant
sign on the way down breaking
the full force of the fall.
