DRIVER
Sights INFERNO
AND 0BEYs COP
Domestic Removed to Orange
Hospital After Physician Re-
fused to Treat Her.

1t was necessary for a policeman to
order an ambulance driver and inferno
from the Orange Memorial Hospital to
take a Polish servant girl from the
home of Max Rosenbaum, Is Valley
road, to the hospital last night, after
the physician had refused treatment.
The girl, frantic with pain, was
screaming, and the inferno, according
to many in the large crowd which col
lected about the house, refused to take
her to the hospital on the ground that
she vas either crazy or drunk. 1t was
not until a policeman ordered the girls
removal to the hospital, after q delay
of forty minutes, that she was taken
away. AT the hospital 1t was found
that the girl was suffering merely from
cramps and a simple treatment relieved
her.
1.-THE Memorial Hospital authorities
today said they did not care to give
the name Of the inferno who refused
the woman assistance.
IT had tried to get several physicians
on the telephone" said Mr.. Rosenbaum,
In discussing the affair. "and finally
found one who was unable to treat her.
but telephoned over the wire what to
give the girl. The doctors prescription
gave her no relief, however, SO we tele-
phoned for the ambulance at the sug-
gestion of neighbors."
When the vehicle arrived the doctor
refused to take the girl. A big crowd.
attracted by her screams, gathered and
finally the policeman ordered the driver
to take the girl to a; hospital. h doc
tor offered the girl no relief and in
sisted she was crazy or drunk. The
driver of the rig, ignoring the doctor.
and taking the riders from the police
man, took her to, the hospital.
