FOLDING BED TRAPS THREE
Family Narrowly Escaped Suffoca
tion in Bed.
N'ew York, June 7— Alfred Eb
erhardt, a machinist of 680 Metro
politan avenue, and his wife, Mary,
will hereafter have little use for a
folding bed. They very nearly losr
their lives in one several days ago,
together with with their baby, whose
half-smothered cries as he was im
prisoned, brought aid to all three.
Eberhardt was pulled out suffering
from concussion of the brain, Mrs.
Eberhardt was unconscious and the
baby was blue in the face when the
bed was pried open.
When the Eberhardts retired that
night the bed acted ljke a regular !
bed until the baby began to cry and
Mrs. Eberhardt started to get up in
ardcr to get its bottle. As she leaned
aver the thing reared up and then
mapped shut, imprisoning the three.
A neighbor of the Eberhardts heard
the baby’s cries and then ran over !
with a policeman. The two got the j
bed apart and pulled the family out.
