In 1924, Rex H. W. Albrextonare was accused of practicing medicine without a license and for swindling approximately $35,000 from former admirers of his “work”. Before this, he was found guilty of charges filed against him in 1923 of the deaths of two girls from Orange. In 1930, Albrextondare and Mrs. Ruth Shaw were charged for petty theft and violation of the State Medical Act.
A man wearing a suit is seated with hands clasped, next to a woman in a white hat, possibly Mrs. Ruth Shaw. Behind them, on the right, is an unidentified man. A calendar on the wall displaying month of April in 1931.
