TRAGIC AFFAIR AT PEM- ! BROKE…
TRAGIC AFFAIR AT PEM- BROKE DOCK. Dockyard Writer's Suiciie. Worried In the Office. THE JURY'S RECOMMENDATION. A very sad affair occurred early on Friday morning at Pembroke Dock, when Mr. Joseph Cole, of 6, Apley Terrace, a respected inhabi- tant of the town, committed suicide by cutting his throat with a razor in the bath-room at his residence. Mr. Cole, who is 46 years of age, was employed in H.M. Dockyard as a writer. He comes of a well-known local family, and was prominently connected with the Wes- leyan body, and the sad news came as a great shock to his many friends and acquaintances. It appears that for some considerable time past Mr. Cole had been in a depressed condi- tion, and worried about his work in the office, and also, it is alleged, that his relations with the other members of staff, with whom he had to work, were the reverse of cordial, and this it seems also preyed upon his mind. On Friday morning Mrs. Cole was away at Dale, and a sister of the deceased was keeping house for him. She called him as usual, and received a reply, but later on heard him in the bath- room. She called and received no reply, and being unable to open the door called in the neighbours. Mr. Abraham Finch burst open the door, and there found deceased lying on the floor in his night attire, with a terrible gash in his throat, whilst a razor lay on the floor beside him. Dr. E. A. Saunders was sent for, and was quickly upon the scene, but Mr. Cole expired in a few moments. THE INQUEST. The Coroner for the county (Mr. H. J. E. Price) held the inquest on Saturday afternoon at the Railway Temperance Hotel, when Mr. William Smith was foreman of the jury, whilst there was also a large attendance of deceased's colleagues from the Royal Dockyard. At the outset the Coroner announced that it appeared from what the doctor had told him, that one of the witnesses, Miss Sarah Jane Cole, the sister of the deceased, would be un- able to give evidence. Since this unfortunate occurrence she had been stricken with para- lysis, and in. the opinion of the doctor it was quite impossible for her to be called to offer them any assistance. Fortunately, what she would have been able to say was small, but she might have been able to help them. Unlike other courts of this navre, a coroner's court was in the position of being able to accept hearsay evidence, and he proposed calling Sergt. Powell. who would tell them the results of a conversation he had with Miss Cole. He trusted that after having heard him and the other witnesses, the jury would have no diffi- culty in arriving at a verdict. Abraham Finch, of 137, Dimond Street, School Attendance Officer, said that hehad known deceased for many years. Deceased was a writer in the Dockyard. His age was 46. Witness last saw him alive one day last week, when he met him in the street. He then ap- I peared to be in his usual health. On Friday morning, between 7.30 and 7.45, Mrs. Evans came to witness's house and asked him to come over to Mr. Cole's, as he had cut his throat, and there were only two females in the house. Witness went over at once, and went to the bath-room. Looking through the door he could see deceased lying or the floor in a lot of blood. Witness FORCED THE DOOR and went in. Deceased was breathing, and was lying on the floor with his back to the door. His throat was cut, and a razor lay on the floor on the left hand side. Witness picked it up, and then went to inform the police. Deceased lived about four or five minutes. P.S. Powell was then sworn, and said that from information received he proceeded to 6, Apley Terrace, and saw the deceased lying dead. He learned from his sister, Miss Sarah Jane Cole, who was keeping house for him, that deceased's wife was away staying at Dale. She said that she last saw deceased at 10.45 p.m. on Thursday night, when he appeared to be in his usual health. At 7.30 on Friday morning she called him. He answered All- right Jinny." The next thing she found that lie was in the bath-room. She was frightened, and as she could not open the door she sent for help. She had called, and could get no answer. In reply to the foreman, witness said that Miss Cole said deceased had some time ago been poorly, and had been attended by a doctor. She did not state that he had been troubled about any other matter. In reply to another juror, witness said that the razor was an old one. Deceased did not shave. Dr. E A. Saunders said that he had known deceased for 30 years. He was called to see deceased between 7.30 and 8 avm. He found deceased Ijlfcig in the bath-room. He was just alive then, and breathing very faintly. There was a deep gash in the right side of the thioat severing the large vessels. He died in four or five minutes. Witness had attended deceased two or three months ago. He was then in a very depressed, nervour condition. The Coroner: Was anything troubling him do you know?—He seemed to think he could not do his work properly. I Do you think that at this time he suffered from some temporary aberration?—Un- doubtedly. Witness added that he ordered deceased away in the summer, but he did not go. In reply to the foreman, witness said the deceased said HIS WORK WORRIED HIM. lie gave no reasons as to why it was, and men- tioned no names of people as worrying him. In a general way he said that his work worried him. The Coroner, in summing np, said that the cause of death in this case was painfully clear. It was plain that for some reason or other deceased ,took his life. The only point they had to consider was the state ox his mind at the time. The doctor had told them that for some reason or other the -(Ieeeased was very worried about his work. They all knew how much worry and uneasiness a man's work often caused him. He thought that the only verdict they could return was one of Suicide whilst temporarily insane." The Foreman: Would it not be better to get some member of the family to speak as to the general state of his mind? The Coroner: I think the evidence of the doctor would be the best you could have. You could not have better evidence than that. He gives you his professional opinion that this man no doubt suffered from a fit of insanity. The Foreman. There may be some contribu- tory cause of which the doctor may not know. The Coroner: That won't alter the facts one way or the other. The Foreman: It would show the causes which led to it. The Coroner replied that it wcuid not Be evdence. He hoped they would not think that he wanted to suppress anything. Suppose that one of the brothers came and said John Thomas or somebody else worried him, and he took it to heart, it would not help him, and it might -10' be doinf; John Thomas an injustice. The Foreman: But if John Thomas had worried him, I think he should be responsible. The Coroner: I think we are opening up too worried him, I think he should be responsible. The Coroner: I think we are opening up too wide a field. This question can be dealt with by the proper authorities. I don't think I shall be inclined to let it go on. Mr. Owen (a juror), said the doctor saw de- ceased three months ago. Dr. Saunders said that he attended him pro- fessionally then, but he had seen him nearly every day. The Coroner said that he did not want them to think he wanted to prevent any more evi- dence being given, but would it be fair. One of the deceased's brothers here stepped forward and asked to be allowed to speak. He commenced to make a statement, and the Coroner said I think perhaps you had better be sworn, but it goes against my grain. Still if it is the wish of the jury I will listen to your evidence." BROTHER'S COMPLAINT. William Thomas Cole, a brother of the de. ceased, was then sworn. He said thit he saw deceased on Wednesday evening, as they came out of a meeting. He said "Bill, I am worried very much." Witness replied What are you worrying about, Joe." He said "The associa- tions I have to contend with in the office." W!tness said Why don't you come out. Don't get worried," and then they parted. Witness added, We, his brothers, will ever believt. his death was caused by worrying in the office." The Coroner: That is not at all unlikely. Witness: He would be alive to-day, but for what he had to contend with. The Ceroner: That may be so. Witness: We shall ever believe he was wor- ried by those with whom he came iia contact. Mr. Owen asked witness if he could state by whom deceased was worried. TheCo roner: I think that would not be fair. If there is any grievance against the head of the department or anyone Witness: It is not the heifc^of the depart- ment The Coroner: I was only assuming. It may be the second man, or anyone else. You could afterwards complain in the proper quarters. I think that is what you might do. As far as we are concerned I don't think it would be right to go into that. Witness: We are satisfied he would be alive to-day but for that. The Coroner: I know it is a regrettable thing. A juror suggested that a rider should be added to the verdict. The Coroner said that it was not their duty by law to do so, but he could not prevent them doing so, and would accept it. He would not make any difficulty in this case 11 they wished to, but he would rather they left it out. They might think that somebody in the office was responsible for worrying him un- necessarily. He admitted it might be so, but then perhaps it might prove that they were wrong. He thought they should simply bring in a verdict, and allow the relatives to bring up the matter at the proper quarters f they tnougnt nt. Another gentleman here asked to be allowed to speak, but the Coroner declined to hear any more statements. The Foreman: It seems rather a sad reflection upon the whole clerical staff in connection with the department. It would appear he was worried by someone. The Coroner: What he said was that his busi- ness worried him. That is what I understood Mr. Cole said. Witness: The associations with whom he was in connection worried him so. Mr. Owen asked how many officials there were in the office, and witness replied that there were three. THE VERDICT. The Court was cleared, and the jury de- liberated in private. When the Court was re- opened the Coroner said that the jury re- turned a verdict of Suicide whilst temporary insane." The jury had also requested him to communicate with the Captain-Superintendent of the Dockyard the fact that it had been stated that deceased was worried in his busi- ness. and they thought some inquiry should be made on this point. Mr. W. T. Cole: Thank you, sir. The Coroner said that he should write on Monday.

I PEMBROKE BAKER'S FAILURE.
I PEMBROKE BAKER'S FAILURE. BROTHER CLAIMS OVENS AND HORSE, AND WIFE THE FURNITURE. At Pembroke Dock Bankrupty Court on Fri- day, before the Registrar (Mr. S. H. Owen), Albert George Abraham, lately residing anu carrying on business at Main Street, Pembroke, and Owen Street, Orange Gardens, Pembroke, as a baker, appeared for his public examina- tion. Mr. F. S. Reed, sa'leitor, of Pembroke, ap- peared for debtor. Debtor's statement of affairs showed gross liabilities amounting to 138 11s. 2d., of which JS128 13s. were expected to rank. There were sixteen unsecured creditors. H-s assets were stock-in-trade, trade fittings, fixtures, etc., es- timated to produce P,6 14s. 3d.; book debts, goods Z5, doubtful and bad, £ 06 18s. 10d., esti- mated to produce Z4 12s. 6d., a total of iC16 6s. 9d. There was thus a deficiency after deducting preferential claims for rent, etc., of iClIS 4s. 5d. Debtor gave as the cause of hi failure Depression in trade, and heavy trade expenses." The Official Receiver (.u.r. H. W. Thomas), in his observations, stated the receiving order was made December 8th, on the debtor's own petition, which he filed in consequence of exe- cutions having been levied upon his effects. He was adjudged bankrupt on December 12th, on the Official Receiver's application. The bankrupt tage 28) states that he commenced business as a baker at Monkton, Pembroke, in January, 1904, without capital. In September, 1904, he removed to St. Michael's Square, Pem- broke, but discontinued this business in August last, when he removed to Orange Gar- dens, Pembroke. The shop and premises in St. Michael's Square were held by him under a lease for 21 years, from 25th March, 1905, at a rental of £24 per annum. The rent being in arrear, the lessor re-entered under the proviso for re-entry contained in the lease by consent. Two portable ovens at the shop at St. Michael's Square are claimed by the bank- rupt's brother, Olil the ground that he pur- chased the same from the owners in December, 1907, for £22, this being the amount of instal- ments in arrear under a hiring agreement, which he paid. The landlord also claims a charge on these ovens for L20, arrears of rent. A horse and trap are also claimed by the bank- rupt's brother. lie states that these were hired by him to the bankrupt in October, 1904, at 10s. per month. The household furniture, of the stimated value of Z21 12s. 9d., is claimed by the bankrupt's wife as her own separate property, part thereof having been given to her, and the remainder purchased by her with her own money. With the exception of a debtor's ledger and delivery books, the bank- rupt kept no books of account. He admits that he was aware of his insolvency 18 months ago. The liabilities are-Arrears of rent, £ 20; ar- rears of hire of horse and trap, £ 17; trade debts, iE91 13s. Od. v In reply to the Official Receiver, debtor stated that he had no capital when he com- menced business at Monkton. When he left I a situation he had in Pembroke, his brother, who was also a baker, used to let him have the flour. Debtor made the bread and sold it, and then paid his brother. Whilst he was at Monkton he made about e20 profit, for he paid that amount when he went into St. Michael's Square in September, 1904. He took a lease of the premises at St. Michael's Square for 21 years, at a rental of P,24 per an- num. He carried on business there until August, 1908. He lost money there, for just after he had commenced business there were Dockyard discharges, and the town became very depressed, and he could make no head- way. The Official Receiver: Well, take the first year from 1904 to 1905. How did you get on?- I could only manage to pay my way. Did you spend any money on improving the premises?—No, sir, I spent no money on the premises except on the ovens. The Official Receiver then examined debtor as to the alleged cause of his failure, and asked what he meant by "depression in trade, and heavy trade expenses." Debtor replied that he commenced doing five sacks a week, and this gradually went down to three sacks a week. A sack, he explained made about 94 loaves-—half would sell at 6d., and half at 5d. The Official Receiver said the debtor had stated in his' account that his cash takings averaged £2 10s. a week, and his credit about P,7 a week, and debtor said he had made the accounts from memory, though he was certain as regards the cash takings. He made it out as accurately as possible. The Official Receiver: What do you say are the heavy trade expenses you have been put to?-There was the rent. That was iE24 per year?- Yes-and the rates, and I had to pay about 13s. a week for coke for the ovens. Then there was the horse and cart and gas. Are there any other expenses beyond those you have mentioned?—No, sir. I see by your deficiency account that you made a profit of k30 4s. since December 8tli, 1907. How do you arrive at that ?-I think it was worked out at so much a week. Yes. You guessed it. Isn't that so?—I don't know for certain, sir. I Have you anything you can show me to show me how you get it?—No, sir. You really can't say whether you made any profit or not?—Not for certain. You say you had had debts amounting to £ 32 12s. lld. How did you come to give credit in this way?—I dndn't know the people at the time and let them have the bread. You still say these debts are bad and irre- coverable ?—Yes. The Official Receiver next questioned bank- rupt about the lease, and asked what arrange- ments he made when he gave the lease up. Debtor said that he asked the landlord if he could find another tenant and let it, and as soon as he found a tenant he let it. What irrangemcnt d:d you make with re- gard to thj ovens s-—I didn't mako any arrange- ments whatever. You made no arrangements about it at all?— It was arranged that I should pay as scon as I sold the ovens. The Official Receiver said that the incoming tenant, a Mr. Sanders, had claimed 2s. a week rent for the ovens, but debtor denied that lie had entered into any agreement to pay rent. He left the ovens there for some time, but later on Mr. Sanders told him that if he did not hurry up and sell the ovens he should have to charge him rent. The Official Receiver further examined debtor with regard to the ovens, and he said that lie bought them for £ S7. He paid £ 20 down, and later on lie paid a further amount, bringing the total to iP-67 3s. In December, 1907, there was a balance of £ 29 17s. due, and the firm who supplied the ovens threatened to seize the ovens unless this was paid. He went to his brother, and the latter settled the matter by paying £22. Ho did not sign any agreement with his brother at the time. He thought that he could sell the ovens to pay his brother. Mr. F. S. Reed said that the brother would not claim the ovens, but would come in as a creditor. The Official Rere; then examined debtor with regard to the :>e and trap, which w-k also ciahned by ti.* brother under a h.ring agreemearc, which b referred to "ar: art- id- cally drawn doc*.ii- ut." Debtor 6-aid that it was drawn up by hi, brother in October. 1904. The Official •. How did your brother come to lend you a uorse aad trap?—He knew I could not do i •. i-s without a horse and trap, and I knew had one more than he wanted. How many horses lifl traps hsa your brother at the time?—lie had three or lour. You asked him fv: the loan of a horse and trap and he lent it you. The terms arranged were 10s. a month?—Yes. The Official Recc-i er sharply questioned the debtor as to whether he had had the agreement in his possession since 1904, and he said that he had. He had paid two or three ten shillings to his brother. The horse and trap were in his possession when the receiving order was made on December 8ill. 1908. He had carried on the business in Owen Street after he left St. Michael's Square in August, lSvb. lie bekeved that his brother had gi.en notice to the high bailiff claiming the horse and cart. His goods were first levied upon on October 17th, 1908. He had had judgments against him in the County Court frequently, but he had paid them as soon as he could. He really did not know whether his brother had claimed the horse and trap by October 17th. Mr. Reed asked if the horse and trap were seized. The Official Receiver: The horse was. The next matter upon which the debtor was examned was his wife's claim to the furniture, and he swore that all the gifts at the wedding were made to his wiie, and not to himself. The Official Receiver considered it peculiar that debtor's father, mother and brothers should each make presents to debtor's wife and not him, but debtor maintained that such was the case. He said that they knew when giving the presents to his wife that he would also have the use of them. The Official Receiver: It strikes me that they had a lot of knowledge if they knew all that. Debtor next explained that a piano, given his wife by her father, was now in possession of Mr. Reed, who had advanced £ 10 to debtor for the purpose of filing his petition. Mr. Reed said that he would return the piano upon the receipt of £10. He didn't require it at all. After some further questions had been put to debtor, the Registrar adjourned the ex- amination to the next court.

PEMBROKE PETTY SESSIONS. Monday, January llrh.-Before Mr. S. B. Sketch (in the chair). Messrs. T. Brown, S. W. Willing, F. P. Tombs, J. Hutchings, J. Lawrence, B. Powell, H. Trevena, T. Rees, J. Jones, J. Rowlands, and W. Angel. CARELESSLY KEPT EXPLOSIVES. Charles Sanders, ironmonger, of East End, was charged with keeping a quantity ef ex- plosives, including gunpowder and cartridges, in an unlicensed place, on December 17th. He pleaded guilty. Supt. Thomas said that he would not call any evidence, but he would like to point out the seriousness of the offence, the gunpowder in this case having been kept in an ordinary cask, the top of which was stove in. Defendant said that he did not understand that the premises had to be registered annually. He had registered once, and he did not. think of the matter again. The gunpowder was on a shelf, and not in a dangerous position. In reply to Mr. Tombs, defendant said that the premises were now registered. ] Supt. Thomas said that the premises had I not been inspected since the premises had been registered. Mr. Tombs asked if the defendant had been cautioned, and the Superintendent replied that the police never cautioned in these cases. The powder should have been kept in an iron safe. The Home Office regarded breaches of the Ex- plosives Act as a very serious offence. The Bench retired, and upon their return the Chairman said that4defendant would have to pay Is. and costs 5s. 6d. John Roberts, of Main .Street, was charged with a similar offence on the same date. Mr. R. D. Lowless appeared for defendant, and said that in this case there was no gun- powder, but only cartridges. Mr. Roberts in the past used to store gunpowder, and used to register the premises. When he gave up keep- ing gunpowder he told the late Sergeant that he had only cartridges, and was told that it was alright. He pointed out that the Act was very complicated, and a person could keep thirty pounds of powder in cartridges, without registereing, if the cartridges were for private use and not for sale. The premises had since been registered, and he suggested that the magistrates should dismiss the summons with a caution. The magistrates dismissed the case with costs. COMMENCING THE NEW YEAR. | Walter Roberts, of Long Mains. Monkton, j was charged with being drunk and disorderly at Monkton on January 1st, and pleaded guilty.—P.C. Phillips said that at 11.15 p.m. on the day in question he saw the defendant in a drunken condition. He was staggering and using very bad language. Witness cautioned him. and eventually he was taken home by two men.—Defendant said that he was sorry.— Thero were several previous convictions against defendant for similar offences.- Fined 5s, and costs 7s. 6d.

The late Mr. Allen's will is another example of an eminent lawyer who drew his own will badly. The will is written throughout in his own hand, and is difficult to read, portions of it having to be "fair copied" for registration, while three of the codicils were necessary for the corrections of errors or elucidation of I doubtful points in the will itself. The two most notable cases in recent years of eminent lawvers who drew their wills badly are those of Lord St. Helier, better known as Sir Francis Jeune, who, although president of the court, which deals with will actions, never- theless showed a most incomprehensible care- lessness in drawing his own will, and the court of which he had been President had to decide what was to be the reading of his will; while the late Lord Grimthorpe's will was so involved as to be unintelligible, and a similar I pronouncement had to be obtained from the court in his case.
