Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas May 31, 1940 (Baskerville v. Kofsky)

Hartshorne, J.

Two young men on a party with their girls set out in their car one evening, Kofsky, the present defendant, driving. On reaching an intersection near the Essex county court house in Newark, they sought to beat the red light, and in doing so, on reaching the far side of the intersection, struck an old colored woman who had just stepped off the curb.
