ASSAULT ON WOMAN
FIVE MEN COMMITTED FOR TRIAL. (Rec. 11.15 p.m.) Sydney, March 23. Five men, Herbert Wilson, Frederick Payne, Phillip Jeffs, Ernest Wilson, and Leslie Heath, charged with the Darlington outrage were committed for trial on capital charges after a Police Court hearing in camera. The Magistrate’s action excluding the Press is universally condemned, many leading barristers expressing the opinion that the Magistrate was seriously mistaken in conducting such a case behind closed doors.—A. and N.Z.
While walking in the street en route to her home late at night a married woman was seized by two men in Darlinghurst and dragged to an adjacent building of flats where she was criminally assaulted by seven men. When she was allowed to depart she informed the police who arrested five men.
