Rudolph Baumgarten Expires Yesterday

Rudolph Baumgarten, the old man who was knocked down by an out-bound West End
train at Canal and Cortez streets on the night of August 2 and was seriously
injured about the body, died yesterday at the Charity Hospital.

Baumgarten was seventy-two years of age and lived at No. 3825 Customhouse
street.  Last Thursday night, about 9:56 o’clock, he was walking across the
tracks at Cortez and Canal streets, when he was struck by a West End train.

When the old man was picked up it was found that his left leg was broken
below the knee and that he was injured about the ribs.  He was taken to the
Charity Hospital.  The shock was too great for a rally and the aged sufferer
passed away at 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon.

The train which knocked Baumgarten down was in charge of conductor A. Houpt
and Motorman L. E. Printiss.
