BRISBANE, May 2. T. Boys, the Bundaberg mail train conductor, will not give evidence at the trial of Herbert Kopit, who is charged with attempting to murder him. Although Boys left the hospital yesterday restored to physical strength, he has lost his memory. He cannot recall the happenings in the train and thinks he was involved in an accident.
An X-ray photograph discloses that a piece of bone is pressing on his brain, but the doctors have decided not to operate as it is feared that there might result a mental reaction causing a condition that would not be preferable to the existing one.
