Baby Killed as Window Accident Brings Tragedy
In New York at 224 Clinton Street on Aug 22 a 3 year old, Willie Braun, was killed after his 4 year old brother Abie pushed him from a window four stories high. The boy landed on a skylight and struck Meyer Glaser, 6, sleeping in a rear room, injuring him with glass. Willie died at the hospital, and Abie faced consequences as authorities report the fatal accident. The piece also recalls a carnival-like baby procession with decorative costumes and gifts, ending in a note on hazards of soap and candy.
