Description
Black and white 8″ x 13 1/2″ photo in their “Pictures of the Week” page. This picture is of a brick office building where a woman, identified in the caption, climbed out on the ledge of one of the windows and sat thinking. Other windows opened up and faces tried to talk her into coming back in, trying to befriend her. The caption headline has her response which is “I don’t want any friends”. The information indicates that when she heard the siren of an approaching police car she completed her act of frustration and let gravity take her to the sidewalk where she died on the way to the hospital. The detailed information which included her name, age and job title is something that now not accompany a picture as graphic as this one.
