THE LATE MR TRAVERS.
Telegraph Press Association Copyright Wellington, April 27. An inquest on the body of the late W. T. L. Travers was held this afternoon. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. The evidence showed that after the train had moved forty yards from the station and was travelling at tie rate of six or seven miles an hour, the deceased sprang off the platform of one of the cars after a slight struggle with a boy who tried to prevent him doing so. Deceased jumped right on to the guard, who was looking in the opposite direction, and fell back against the cars. The step of one carriage dragged him about ten yards. Death actually resulted from hemorrhage on the brain caused by an injury to the skull.
