Saved His Brother From A Fall In New York
George Brunner saved his brother Edward from being dashed to death on a paved court by grabbing him with his left arm while holding the scaffold with his right.

He stepped from a fifth story window to the scaffold and fell past the window where George stood, who then held him with one arm and clung to the scaffold with the other.
