Mr Abraham Feller, 47, close adviser to UN Secretary-General Trygve Lie, plunged from a bedroom window of his 12th floor apartment on Central Park, West. The body landed in a rear courtyard. His wife Alice tried to restrain him but he broke away from her and ran to the win- dow, she told the police. They have a 17-year-old daughter, Caroline.
