BOMB EXPLOSION
THE BATHURST FATALITY INQUEST ON VICTIMS (Rec. 11 p.m.) CANBERRA, June 11. A finding of accidental death in all five cases was made by the coroner at the resumed inquiry at Bathurst into a mortar bomb explosion at Bathurst camp. Three Australian soldiers and two Italian prisoners of war were killed The evidence showed that the police could find nothing to indicate that the explosion of the bomb was brought about by any kind of treachery or foul play. The bomb was apparently “ blind ” —one which had been fired but had failed to explode on impact. These are highly dangerous and are usually destroyed without moving them from the position in which they fall.
