Synopsis:

Sure and it's a fine St. Paddy's dawn in New York City, and beat cop

Bragan is finishing up his all-night midtown shift and heading back to

his family. Mrs. Bragan is making waffles today, and there's no school

for young Mike, and they're all looking forward to the big parade. It's

Bragan's day. He's got his buttons already polished.
But he won't make it home after all. A scream pierces the daybreak, and

Bragan looks up and gasps: Way up high, near the top of one of the

avenue's fine hotels, there's a guy standing on a ledge, clinging to a

cornice, looking down, teetering.
Jumper. Bragan breaks into a run, straightaway gets up to the hotel's

15th floor, collides with the manager who's fretting that his suicidal

guest is going to bring unwelcome publicity. "This is the worst possible

thing that can happen to a hotel!" the manager moans. Bragan

disgustedly shoos him out, and now he's alone with the man on the ledge, the

first cop on the scene, and he leans out the window, high over the dizzying

canyons.
The jumper is a nice-looking young man, nervous, distraught, sweating.

"Hey," Bragan says easily. "That's kind of a dangerous thing you're

doing there, kid! You might fall off and hurt somebody!"
They seem to make a connection, the two of them. It's clear to Bragan

that the kid probably doesn't want to jump at all. He's just at some

breaking point, needs to talk to somebody he can trust. "I'd hate to see

you make a bad mistake," Bragan says. But now the brass hats have

arrived, and they know how to handle situations like this, they don't need

Bragan. "Back to your traffic," a captain barks at him, and Bragan

reluctantly follows orders, going downstairs to help handle the crowds of

gawkers and gogglers who are quickly filling the streets along with the

radio reporters and the newsreel crews. He's a grand public spectacle,

the man on the ledge, and suddenly half the town is here, clucking,

standing vigil, snickering, making bets, waiting for him to decide if he's

going to jump or not, whatever his problem is.
The guy's name is Robert Cosick. He's got family issues: His

overbearing mother has made it plain all his life that she never wanted him, and

his old man is a hopeless lush, and he blames himself for everything.

"I'm no good to anybody," he sobs.
But he won't talk to anybody but Bragan, who struck him as a decent

guy. Get Bragan back up here, the brass hats decide. And now it's just the

two of them again, the cop and the jumper, on the ledge, talking things

over, as all New York watches the unfolding drama on live TV.
*

 One difference between the tense 1955 CBS television production "Man

on the Ledge" and the real-life 1938 incident it was based on was that,

while live TV crews did, in fact, broadcast the riveting episode,

nobody but the engineers saw it because in 1938 nobody at home had a TV yet.

But the story of John Warde was all over the radio that July day when

Warde, a 26-year-old former mental patient who had halfheartedly tried

to kill himself twice before, climbed out a 17th-floor window of the

Hotel Gotham, on 55th St. at Fifth Ave., and perched for 10 hours and 48

minutes, chain-smoking, trying to make up his mind what he was going to do. [RF]
