EXECUTIVE
IS VICTIM
Herman Camp, a retired millinery company executive plunged to his death yesterday from the seventh floor of the swank Crest Royal Apartments at 1310 Jones Street.
The 70 year old hat maker, who suffered a stroke six years ago that left him partially paralyzed, scribbled a note to an old friend prior to his fall.
'Maybe you can wear some of my old clothes.' It said.
Police Officer Robert Stone said Camp fell from a seventh floor window on the Clay Street side of the apartment building at 6:10 p.m.
His body struck a fourth floor fire escape and then slipped down to the third floor fire escape landing immediately below. Firemen removed him from the fire escape and he was taken unconscious to Mission Emergency Hospital, where he died about an hour later.
Camp lived with his brother, Meyer Camp, in Apartment 704 at the Crest Royal. Meyer Camp is executive vice president of the Harry Camp Millinery Company.
Meyer Camp was not home when his crippled brother plunged from the seventh floor window."
