This Day in History: 1930-12-25
Although Chief Smith had a day off for the holiday, he had to investigate an accident on Franklin Turnpike. A car driven by George Zimmer of Paterson went out of control while passing another car and ended up on the sidewalk against a telephone pole and a rock. His two passengers, Charles Conrad and Mrs. Ella Hoykas both of Prairie Avenue, Suffern, suffered cuts to the head and scalp and severe bruises. They were treated by Dr. Liddy and sent home. Chief Smith went back to his holiday. (Bristow)
