MYSTERY DEATH.
NEW ZEALAND WIDOW. Coroner's Comment At Inquest In London. ACCIDENT OR SUICIDE? tUnlted P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 9.30 a.m.) LONDON,- October 14. "My experience shows that the vast majority of cases like this are suicidal," declared Mr. Ingleby Oddie, the London coroner at the inquest into the death of Mrs. Rose Rhodes, widow of a barrister of Canterbury, New Zealand, who fell 60 feet from the window of her son's Chelsea flat. "Naturally the relatives always endeavoured to show that death was accidental. It is possible but improbable that it was an accidental fall. Marks under the window were apparently made while Mrs. Rhodes was getting out and suspending herself from the window."The son gave evidence that his mother arrived from New Zealand in June without any troubles and lived happily with himself and his wife. The coroner returned a verdict that there was insufficient evidence as to whether it was accidental death or suicide.

MAY BE ENDED NEXT WEEK. (Received 12 noon.) SYDNEY, this day. , The New South Wales Cricket Association is to make a move next week to end the deadlock between Bradman and the Board of Control. It is expected that a satisfactory solution will be reached. •Associated Newspapers, Limited, which has Bradman under contract, publishes a statement to the effect that until such time as Bradman breaks the board's rule about player-writers the board cannot penalise him. Cricketing circles interpret this as meaning that Bradman will not be expectcd to write about Test matchcs or other first-class games and therefore is not likely to come into conflict with the board. Bradman has been included in an Australian team to play against England at Melbourne on November 18. Chosen by the Victorian selectors, and approved by the Test selectors, this side will be: —Woodfull, Ponsford, Ironmonger, Darling, Nash (Victoria), Bradman, Kippax, McCabe, Oldfield (New South Wales), Oxenham (Queensland), and L-;e (South Australia). Rigg (Victoria) is twelfth man.
