MOTOR FATALITY.
EVIDENCE AT INQUEST. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Sept. 18. There was a dramatic development at an inquest to-day on a man who was knocked down and killed. Victor Brownson, a motor car driver, went into the box and flatly contradicted the evidence a witness, J. E. Watts, who had sworn that there was a woman in the car and that after the accident she got out and disappeared on his (Brownson’s) advice. The Coroner, in returning an open verdict, remarked that Mr Watts’s evidence was too detailed and circumstantial to be dismissed as a mistake. The victim was Henry JoneSj aged 57. The accident occurred at the corner of Ghuznee Street and Cuba Street at about 10.30 o’clock on the evening of September 2.
