Woman Fatally Hurt
Mrs. Emma Scholl, 67 years old, 694 Tulip street, died as she was being carried into West Jersey Hospital. She was struck by the automobile of Thomas Atkins, 110 East Clinton avenue, Oaklyn, after she had stepped from behind a Public Service bus at Ninth street and Morgan boulevard.
Atkins was arrested by Detective Howard Pike, and later released in $1,000 bail for hearing today in traffic court, on a charge of manslaughter.
Atkins said he was driving west on Morgan boulevard and was rounding a wide curve at Ninth street when his machine struck Mrs. Scholl. He said the woman walked from behind a Fairview-bound bus, directly into the path of his automobile.
The woman died of a fractured skull and internal injuries. Both arms were broken. Coroner Arthur H. Holl issued a death certificate.
