• SHOOTING OF SYDNEY DETECTIVE (Rec. 11.40 a.m.) SYDNEY, September 18. Sidney Grant, 28 arid Keith George Hope. 23, were committed for trial at the Coroner’s Court on a charge of having murdered Detective V. D. Ahearn in a notice car on August 11. Counsel for Hope asked the coroner to dismiss the charge against his client as there was not a prima facie case against him. The coroner replied that he considered Hope culpable because he knew Grant had a pistol in his possession and had expressed his intention of using it.
