DRANK POISON
RETURNED SOLDIER’S DEATH.
DECEASED QUEER SINCE WAR / By Telegraph—Copyright —Press Assn. NEW PLYMOUTH, Last Night. Claude Hadyn Vincent, a painter, aged 38, swallowed a bottle of poison at a boardinghouse and walked across the street to a motor garage, where he collapsed and died in his room. The police found a note stating that Vincent had taken poison. They also found a marriage license form filled in, and dated March 26, 1930. The woman concerned when interviewed by the police said she had no knowledge of the marriage license, although it was understood they were to be married. A son of Vincent gave evidence at the inquest that he thought his father had been married and divorced about ten years ago. Vincent had been rather queer ever since he returned from the war. A verdict from poison self administered was returned.
