MAN AND WIFE ATTACKED

THE SAYWELL CASE SON GIVES EVIDENCE (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) SYDNEY,. 31st August. Considerable interest was taken in the coroner’s inquiry into the murderous attack on Victor Say well and his wife, in April, resulting in the death of the former, and the probable permanent disablement of his wife who is unable to speak or attend the inquiry. Their son, Jack Saywell, was the chief witness. He gave evidence that he was in the company of a young woman the night before the tragedy, and arrived home at 2.15 o’clock in the morning. He was not aware that his parents had been attacked, or were so near death. The maid discovered the. crime when she visited their bedroom at the breakfast hour. Jack said his father had objected to his keeping company with a Roman Catholic girl, but nothing more than the usual squabbles occurred. His parents had also objected to his staying out late at night. The hearing was adjourned.
