Description	Photograph article dated November 22, 1947 reads, "Despondency over a bone affliction which had kept him out of service in World War II was believed the cause of a 10-story plunge yesterday by Goodwin Bertram Aurback, 38, Veterans Administration case-worker, from the roof of a building at 1031 S. Broadway. Aurbach complained to Harold Epstein, 2277 Cove Ave., a co-worker, of feeling ill and depressed after lunch. He left his office on the 11th floor, ostensibly to visit the nurse's office on the 12th floor. A few moments later workers on various floors saw a body hurtling down the well between two wings of the building. The body landed on the third-floor set-back. Aurbach leaves his widow and a child of 2301 Bentley Ave."
