THE PRICE OF A LIFE
NEGLIGENT DRIVING CAUSES DEATH. MOTORIST PINED £SO. LPer Press Association.] AUCKLAND, Last Night. For driving a car at night without lights or horn, and consequently running down four men in Williamson Avenue with fatal results to one, Ronald Gordon Frankham, a young man, was fined £SO by Mr. Justice Herdman in the Supreme Court, and was disqualified from driving for two years. The jury found the accused not guilty of manslaughter, but convicted him of driving with negligence, and thereby causing the death of Oscar Swanson. The indictment against accused had been thrown out by the Grand Jury last session, but he was indicted afresh by the Attorney-General, the new Grand Jury returning a true bill.
