tween the Robert and Wabasha street

his groans.
He was unconscious and was taken to
the city hospital in the patrol wagon,
where it was found that the pelvic bone
was broken. He also sustained a scalp
wound and several severe bruises about
the face and body.
Neumann refused to state whether he
had fallen from a train or had fallen
