X rays not evidence

A Jersey City judge refuses to allow photograph to be introduced.

New York, Oct. 20 - Judge Nevins of the Hudson county circuit court in Jersey City today refused to admit an X ray photograph as evidence in a damage suit. George Koberstein the plaintiff, rode on a car of the North Hudson County Railroad company from Union Hill to West New York on March 27. When he alighted as he alleges, the conductor pushed him because he did not get off the car quickly. He fell, and his right leg was broken. As he further alleges the conductor rang the bell and went on, leaving him lying in the roadway. He was ? ? bed for eight weeks. He brought suit against the company for ? ?. Dr. August Krause, who attended him supplemented his testimony with an X ray photograph ?????????????????????? be introduced, and I do not care, under the circumstances, to establish a precedent."

Based on the date of the occurrence and expecting that the George Koberstein is probably an adult, the most likely person this can be is George J. Koberstein (wife Jessie, and occupation as Jewelry Store retail merchant) listed in the 1930 census in Baldwin, St. Croix, Wisconsin, not George R. Koberstein (wife Pearl, and occupation as hardware retail merchant listed in the 1930 census in Glenwood City, St. Croix, Wisconsin who was the father of Freeman Koberstein the Piano professor at Oberlin College later in life. This conclusion is made based on all other George Koberstein's in the 1930 census as not being an adult at the time of this incident.
