Abstract Note
This rare glimpse was caught of Homer Collyer in 1939 as he argued with cops outside his Fifth Ave. brownstone. He was objecting to the removal of meters by the local gas company. In the next decade, Homer would become blind and paralyzed and was at the mercy of his brother, Langley. When Langley was killed by booby trap, Homer was left to starve to death in their home.
