EX-COUNGILLOR CHARGEDI i
EX-COUNGILLOR CHARGED NTERESIINCi CASE AT YSTRABSYKIAIS COURT. EVIDENCE INSUFFICIENT Considerable interest was taken in a case iown for hearing at Ystradgynlais Police Jourt on Tuesday, in which the defendant was Samuel J. Thomas, an ex-councillor, residing at Glirnos, for the alleged theft at two iron pipes, the property of Mr. Charles Siuorfitt, liquidator for the Blaen- swm Colliery Co. Mr. Henry Thompson, )t Swansea, pro-sécuted, and Mr. Jones Powdl, of iirevon, defended. Mr. TllOmpson said that the defendant was the proprietor of a foundry at Gurnos, whose land abutted that of the colliery, fioine months ago there had been a at the c-oiliery of all the machinery, as the place had been closed down and the col- dery fJr.nt had been flooded. At the sale ihe Gilvren Colliery Co. purchased the steel pipes from the pump to the top of he slant, whilst the pipes which were ander water were not offered for sale. By arrangement, however, with the Ciilwen Colliery Company, the pipes ander water were also disposed ot, but whilst the work of dismantling was being proceeded with several of the pipes were missed. The missing pipes were subsequently found near the pre- mises of the defendant. EVIDENCE FOR THE PROSECUTION. William John Davieci, a mechanic, said that about September 4 or 5, he missed some pipes from the slant, which had been under water. He told defendant, who said he had not touched the pipes, but later admitted that he had taken them and that he was prepared to take them back if the Gilwen Co. were prepared to pay for the lal>our. W. L. Morgan, YGtatvfera, secretary of the Gilwen Colliery Co., said after the sale he made an arrangement with Mr. Smorfitt for the piirchaee of the gruff which was under water in the el-ant. About September 5th, defendant called at his house and said he was will- ing to surrender the pipes which were in his possession if the Gilwen Co. had come to au arrangement regarding the pipes. Joseph Griffiths, an auctioneer's assis- taut from Swansea, gave evidence that defend.ant did not purchase any pipes at Lhe sale, neither did he make any arrange- ments with defendant in regard to pipes which were under water. Charles Smorfitt, receiver and liquidator for the Blaencwm Company, said that the plant and machinery belonging to the col- liery company were sold by auction according to his instructions. Later he discovered that some of the pipes which were under water in the slant were miss- ing. Witness was with Inspector Wil- liams when the pipes were found along- side the wall outside defendant's yard. He valued the pipes at £ 2 7s. 6d. In reply to Mr. Powell, witness said that the company had paid X90 to defendant in 1911 for damage done t.o his land by water which came over his land from the colliery. Inspector Williams said when he told defendant he was suspected of stealing the pipes, he said: There are no pipes here, but there is a oouple in the brook up there." Defendant asked witness to come to see them, and when on the way, witness observed two pipes alongside the wall out- side the yard, which were partially covered over with shale. Witness asked what they were, and defendant replied: I don't know. I didn't put them there." Subsequently defendant made a remark that the pipes might have been rolled off the tip by children who were playing about. THE DEFENCE. For the defence Mr. Jones Powell said that the Blaencwm Colliery had been the ruination of the life of Mr. Thomas, and he veiiiureu to say that there must have been some feeling against Mr. Thomas on account of his repeated requests to the company to put a stop to the water run- ning over his land from the property. There was no evidence that Mr. Thomas had taken the pipes with any felonious intent. Defendant ea.id he had kept a foundry at Gurnos for 21 years. He owned con- siderable property in the locality, and was one of the largest ratepayers in the dis- trict. For several years past lie had been obliged to close down the foundry on ac- count of water trouble from the Blaen- cwm Colliery. Mr. Griths, the actionueer, eaid he could have all the pipes he wanted. Defendant admitted that he took the pipes from the water in the slant, and his intention was to connect the yipes with the culvert in order to drain the land. Defendant added that he was up to his shoulders in water when he was pulling up the pipes in the slant. In reply to Mr. Thompson defendant Baid he raised the pipes in order to help the company, as the latter had no money to carry out the work of draining the land. He expected to get the pipes for nothing, although he know that Mr. Lucas, the auctioner, was acting for the liquidator. He could not expiain how the [pipes came to be laid outside his boun- dary wall, unless they woi* rolledihetr.e by some children. Other witnesses were called. After retirement the Chairman an- nounced that the evidence was insufficient to convict. t

His. father has received the follow- i ing letter: I Dear Mr. Ball,—It is with very great pleasure that I write to inform you that your son, Driver F. Ball, has just been awarded the Military Medal for very gal- lant conduct performed on the 18th July last. I am sure you would wish to know the circumstances under which he gained the coveted distinction, and, briefly stated., the facts are as follow On the afternoon of the day mentioned the enemy put Tip a terrific barrage of fire between the obser- vation post and the battery position, with the result that the telephone lines were cut and communication broken. This oc- curred at a very critical moment, and it was absolutely essential that the battery should- continue firing, which of course could not he done without direction from the observation post. Your son went backwards and for- wards through this curtain of fire mending the telephone wires, which as soon as they were repaired in one place were cut in another, and he eventually succeeded in establishing communication, thus enabling the battery to continue firing. It was splendid to see the coolness displayed by your son under particularly trying cir-* cumstances, and as his section commander I thought I could not do better than bring the facts to your notice. Please accept my congratulations upon having such a gallant son.—Yours faithfully, (signed) H. Leslie Hyett, Lieutenant E..F.A." I CARMARTHENSHIRE MEN. Major R. A.

NEW V.C. S. I — I WELSHMEN SECURE FIVE OUT OF 12. I STORIES OF HEROISM I A supplement to the "London Gazette" j announces the award of 12 Victoria i Crosses. Five of the recipients are mem- bers of Welsh regiments. Of the remain- der four have made the supreme sacrifice. The list is:— Rev. William Robert Fountaine Addison, Chaplain, 4th Class. He carried a wounded man to the cover of a trench, and assisted several others to the same cover, after binding up tiieir wounds under heavy rifle and machine- gun fire. In addition to three unaided efforts, by his splendid example and utter: disregard of personal danger, he encour- aged the stretcher-bearers to go forward under heavy fire and collect the wounded. Lt. Angus Buchanan, S. Wales Borderers. During an attack an officer was lying out in the open severely wounded about 150 yards from cover. Two men went to his assistance, and one of them was hit at once. Captain Buchanan, on seeing this, immediately went out and, with the help of the other man, carried the woun- ded officer to cover under heavy machine- gun fire. He then returned and brought! in the wounded man, again under heavy fire. 2nd Lt. Edgar Kinghorn Myles, Welsh R. i He went out alone on several occasions in front of our advanced trenches, and under heavy rifle fire and at great per- sonal risk, assisted wounded men lying in I the open. On one occasion he carried in a wounded officer to a place of safety under circumstances of great danger. I Cpl. Joseph Davies, RI. Welsh Fusiliers. Before an attack on the enemy in a wood he became separated with eight men from the rest of his-company. When I the enemy delivered their second counter- attack his party was completely surroun- ded, but he got them into a shell hole, | and, by throwing bombs and opening) rapid fire, routed them and bayoneted several. He set a magnificent example of piuck and determination. He had done other' very gallant work, and was badly wounded in the second battle of Ypres. j Pte. James Henry Flynn, S.W. Borderers.) Seeing several wounded men lying out in front he went out and bandaged them all under heavy fire, making several jour- neys. He went back for a stretcher and, being unable to get one, carried on his back a badly wounded man into safety. He then returned and, aided by another man, who was wounded during the act, carried in another badly wounded man. He was under continuous fire. Pte. Albert Hill, Royal Welsh J' ""Hiers.; When his ^mttaiion had deployed under I very heavy fire for an attack on the enemy in a wood he dashed forward when the order to charge was given, and meeting two of the enemy suddenly bayoneted them both. He was sent later by his platoon sergeant to get into touch with the com- pany, and, finding himself cut off and al- • most surrounded by some 20 of the enemy, attacked them with bombs, killing and wounding many and scattering the re- mainder. He then joined a sergeant of his company and helped him to fight the way back to the lines. When he got back, hearing that his company officer and a scout were lying out wounded, he went out and assisted to bring in the wounded officer, two other men bringing in the scout. Finally he ¡ himself captured and brought in as pri- soners two of the enemy. His conduct throughout was magnificent. < I COMPANIONS OF D.S.O.
