A old true story

On April 18, 1924 a Chicago firemen named Frank Leavy of Engine Co. 107 was washing windows at the firehouse. He put his hand on the window and told a friend that he had a strange feeling that he would be killed that day. Just then the call came in a fire at Curran Hall a office building. While he was fighting the fire a wall came down killing 8 firemen, one was Frank. The next day a firemen noticed a hand print on the window Frank was washing. Everything was tried in order to wash the print off. It seemed to be etched in the glass. A expert from Pittsburgh Glass co. tried with a special solution to remove it and could not. A police department print expert compared the print with that of Franks which were made when he joined the department and it was his. On April 18, 1944 a paper boy tossed a paper and broke the window, Twenty years to the day of Frank Leavy death.
