Boy Rescued from
Abandoned Vault
Washington, Nov. 7 "
Johnnie Arnold, 11, fled from
ear-pulling friends into an aban
doned vault in the locker room
of the Stagecrafter's club.
He pulled the door shut and
it locked.
Johnnie's playmates took off
the hinges of the half-inch steel
door in a vain effort to release
him. Then they called for help.
Firemen with an acetylene
torch first cut a small hole to
give the boy air, then another
large enough for him to crawl
through.
An hour after he went in
Johnnie came out, his face tear
stained but smiling.
