U e b e r s e t z u n g . 92 P_r_o_t_o _o_l.l., recorded at the D 19 traffic office with the conductor of the trailer, Karl M a r e k, number 2620, residing in Neu-Motol, Na Homolce 50, concerning the accident No N-369/39 of 7 September 1939/Accident of/Helene Gischitzky/. Called attention was drawn to his service oath and says followinggaus: Leading day I carried out the service of the conductor in the trailer car No 63l, which was coupled to the motor car No 400. While driving from the stop "Pilsnerstrasse" to the station "Divišgasse" I went through the trailer from the rear to the front platform, following tickets. When I reached the front platform and the train entered the station to Divišgasse on a slow drive, I heard an outcry from outside.

The person concerned demanded to be taken to the women's home by car taxi, but I advised the driver to find the lady in the police department and have her examined there in an ardent manner, because I ruled that this was a more serious accident. Even though the lady initially refused both, we managed to convince her of the need for our measures, helped to the front platform and took her to the police commissioner's office.

In conclusion, I note that no one on the part of the public at the scene of the accident, even those who were not concerned, had judged or complained about the behaviour of the driver: or that: the conductor had, on the contrary, expressed himself to the lady,
