The Morris Velotti family showed the neighbors how to combine thrills and simple dignity in a domestic quarrel last night.
Sensing the quarrel coming on, the parents sent their son, Joseph, 13, out to wheel his baby brother, Michael, 14 months, in his carriage because it wasn't nice to make a scene in front of them.
On the sidewalk, Joseph pushed a while, then lifted Michael out and let him walk a few paces.
At that point there was a scream and looking up, Joseph saw his mother, Mrs. Santa Velotti, 32, falling from a window of their third floor apartment.
The boy held out his arms and braced himself to catch his mother. He missed her and she landed in the empty carriage. She climbed out, apparently unhurt, and walked away. Unnoticed by the mother, the carriage had lurched when she struck it and knocked Joseph down, bruising his knee.
Neighbors called a doctor and police. The doctor treated Joseph's knee and the police questioned Joseph's father, who said his wife had jumped from the window during their quarrel.
The police were just starting to hunt for Mrs. Velotti when she came home. She said she had been to the doctor's to get her bruised knees and forehead treated, and that she had fallen, not jumped, from the window.
Police said the case was closed.
