He suffered rupture rup-ture of the lungs, several fractured ribs and the pelvis bone, besides internal in-ternal injuries. When officers were called to the scene by residents of the neighborhood the physician was lying unconscious under a tree. Stamatakis, Stamata-kis, who speaks little English, was unable un-able to give a comprehensible account of how the accident happened. The injured man in the meantime was rushed to St. Mark's hospital. Stamatakis, Stam-atakis, instead of reporting to the police, po-lice, disappeared. Later he was found and placed under bond of five hundred hun-dred dollars. This was, however, before be-fore the seriousness of the condition of the injured physician was known.
