Llandudno Man's Strange Death.
Llandudno Man's Strange Death. A FATAL FALL. I THE WIFE EXONERATED. The circumstances attending the death of Robert Curwen, a working gardener living a Bryngwynt terrace, Great Orme s Head Llan- dudno, were investgated on Tuesday, Llandudno Cottage Hospital, by Mr. Pentir Williams, the Coroner for North Carnarvonshire In the statement which he made to the jury the coroner described the case as an important one. According to the statements of witnesses Curwen and his wife were returning from ^"dudno about nine o'clock on Saturday nig former was heard to use abusive language, as it quarrelling with somebody. A few minutes later he had fallen down on the tramroad and had to be taken home. A person called to the house later, saw the man lying on the floor with his head near the door and his feet towards the stairs, Two women who saw the man before he tell on the way home would say that they saw his wife throwing stones at him. Samuel Hall, a gardener, who was well ac- quainted with Curwen, gave evidence of iden- tification, and added that he saw on the tram- road, close to where Curwen fell, a sharp stone embedded in the cement which corresponded with the cut on the forehead. There was also a great deal of blood on the ground. J. H. Coburn, tramway conductor, deposed to seeing Curwen going home on Saturday night. He was drunk and using bad language. e witness, after proceeding in the opposite irec ion for some distance, heard a staggering noise. and upon looking back found that Curwen had fallen. He returned to the spot and picked the man up. Curwen said, I am done tor. s e was being picked up Mrs. Curwen came on the scene, and when Curwen repeated that he was done for his wife observed, "I don t care." Curwen had a cut over his right eye, but was apparently not seriously injured. Mrs. Curwen was quite sober. The wife seemed annoyed with Curwen's condition, and complained that he had given her no money and that she had been treated in the same way all summer. A Juror: Did you hear him say anything to his wife ?-OnJy that he had offered her a sovereign, but she denied it. George Brooks, who resided next door to Curwen, corroborated the previous witness as to the use of bad language on the tramroad near the Black Gate. Between nine and ten o clock he heard Mrs. Curwen scream next door, and upon going there he found Curwen lying on his back at the bottom of the stairs, his feet resting on the second step. Superintendent Rees: In what condition was the man ?—When I saw him down the town he was not sober, but I do not think he was drunk. Replying to the Coroner, he said that from all he knew Mrs. Curwen was a steady woman. There was no handrail to the stairs, and even a sober man might have fallen down. Miss Rose said that as she was coming down along the tramroad she saw a woman apparently hiding between two houses near the Black Gate. A drunken man was also coming up, singing a little, and as soon as he was seen by the woman she came out and threw stones at him. The witness next saw him on the ground, and he was picked up by a man who came down the moun- tain. Questioned as to whether she was certain that the woman was throwing stones and not turf, the witness said that she surmised they were stones, and she saw Curwen lifting his | arms as if to protect himself. Mrs Leathley, Jubilee-street, who accompanied the last witness down the tramroad, gave corro- borative evidence. She was more positive than her companion that the woman was throwing stones, but she could not say that the man was struck by them. Dr Charles Lever said that he at once con- cluded that the man had fractured his skull. He died without gaining consciousness. As a result of a post-mortem examination the witness found that the fracture was through the base of the skull and round the back. The man must have fallen on the exact spot to have produced such a serious injury, which could not have been ths result of stone-throwing such as had been de- scribed A fall downstairs was consistent with the injury. Mrs. Curwen, the widow, was then examined. She described how she went to look for her husband on Saturday night and found him drunk in a public-house. He accompanied her along Mostyn-street, calling her foul names, and turned into another public-house, where he was supplied with more drink. When drunk he often fell, and was very fond of saying I am done for. It was quite probable that on the night in question she told him I do not care." She was annoyed i with him, but she did not remember picking up stones to him. The witness then explained how her husband fell downstairs in the house in trying to go up to bed. The Coroner remarked that what might have been an ugly case had been made clear, the medical evidence placing it beyond doubt that the cause of death was an accident. He saw no reason to disbelieve the wife's evidence- in any way, but even if she had struck him he questioned whether—after hearing all about his drunken habits and his extremely harsh treatment of her- he would not have directed a verdict of justifiable homicide. • » t The jury returned a verdict of accidental death, and exonerated the wife from all blame. They also expressed the view that the persons who had supplied Curwen with drink when he was already drunk had done a very improper thing, and suggested that it was a matter which the police ought to inquire into. The Coroner concurred, and Superintendent Rees stated that proper inquiries would be made.

District Nursing. Miss Davies (Treborth), Miss Morris (Inspec- tor for Wales), and Mrs Yale (Madryn) addressed a meeting at Abersoch on Friday on behalf of the North Wales Nursing Association. The chair was taken by the Rector (Rev. H. R. Ro- berts), and the meeting discussed the advisa- bility of appointing a nurse for that district. The feeling of the majority seemed to be in favour of a Queen's nurse rather than a village nurse, but decision was deferred till the 15th inst.

Llandudno and District Field…
Llandudno and District Field Club PENMAENMAWR MOUNTAIN AND THE DRUID'S CIRCLE. As Wednesday last was a whole holiday in Llandudno, an excursion was planned to visit the ruins of a British Camp on Penmaenmawr. Llanfairfechan was reached at 11.45, and the party, numbering about 25, proceeded to the village, and the ascent of Penmaenmawr was commenced. The weather was perfect, and the distant mountain views were magnincent, added to this Mr. Alec Hughes, of Llandudno, and Mr. Foyn, of Penmaenmawr, had both brought their cameras, so that it was hoped a good series of photographs would be taken, which would be of use to the club. After climbing a considerable distance a halt was called, and Mr. Lowe pointed out and describ- ed the various mountains which were visible, and gave an account of their geological struc- ture. -_¿. Everyone was astonished at tne rapid Tall: I at which the western wall of the old fortress was being demolished still, the photographers set to work and obtained some good views of what was still left. On reaching the summit, the famous well, so graphically described by Sir John Wynn, of Gwydir, was sought for, but little of the old well remained, as it had been partially covered with planks. So far the eastern side of the mountain had not been touched, and some good photos of the hut dwellings were obtained, but though untouch- ed, its life will not be long, and then this famous monument of the past will have disap- peared for ever Can nothing be done to save it from destruction? Surely, this is an ancient monument, and where is the Ancient Monu- ment Commission? On the summit Mr. Lowe gave an account of the fortress as it existed in the time of Sir John Wynn. Descending to the upland plateau, the party then proceeded to the Druid's circle, 01 rather circles, as there are at least three, which were carefully examined.
