YOUNG WOMAN'S DEATH MAGISTERIAL INVESTIGATION ACCUSED COMMITTED.
At the police court, yesterday, Herman Oscar Wilksch, agent for a musical instrument company was brought up on remand; charged with supplying Cecilia Flanagan, a typiste on July 4 with a certain instrument for an unlawful purpose. Mr C. J. B. Helm, P.M., presided, Mr, Higgins appeared to. prosecute; and accused was defended by Mr. J. W. Abigail. Frederick Duncan, assistant clerk of petty sessions, produced the dying depositions of Cecilia Flanagan. Mr. Abigail formally objected to the tendering of the dying depositions on the ground that these were not dying depositions'. within the meaning of the Crimes Act, section 406, and that the prosecution had not supplied the accused, with a copy of these depositions as near as practicable after they were taken. The P.M: over-ruled the objection. Sub-Inspector Draper gave evidence of his visit to the District Hospital on July 10, with Mr. J. K. O'Reilly. J.P., for the purpose of taking Miss Flanagan's dying depositions. Witness, later, went to the house occupied by Partridge, in Gurwood-street. and searched the room previously oc cupied by the dying woman, he found a certain instrument (produced), which appeared new, and not to have been used. Subsequently, be was banded, by Mr. Partridge, a second instrument, which had apparently been used. Mrs. Bertha M. Partridge, of Syd ney, formerly residing in Gurwood street Wagga, stated, that Cecilia Flanagan had rented a room in wit ???????????, supplying her own furni ture. On Saturday, July 5, at about 8 p.m.. deceased retired to her own ???????. About ? o'clock she called out in ?????, and Dr. Mobbs was sent for. When the doctor left the house ?????? sat up all night with deceased. Wilksch, the accused, a1so rented a room for a musical instrument agency in the house. He was frequently in Miss Flanagan's company during the five weeks prior to her death; prior to that witness was in Sydney. After deceased was taken to the hospital her bedroom door was locked. On Friday, July 11, deceased's friends took away the furniture. On the next day witness found the instrument (pro duced) on the floor about where deceased's bed had been. Answering Mr. Abigail, witness said that she noticed nothing in the relationship be tween deceased aud accused to arouse suspicion. Miss Flanagan appeared to be in good health up to the time the doctor was sent for. Allan Edward Partridge, printer, deposed that Wilksch rented a room in witness' house for about three mouths, , but had left some weeks, prior to Miss Flanagan's death. Witness described the finding of a certain instruments between the mattrasses of the bed previ ously used by deceased. Witness had seen Miss Flanagan visit Wilksch's room, which was used solely for the musical agency business. Wilksch did not reside in witness' house. Witness first saw the instrument (produced) towards the end of March last. He came home from work one morning about 7 o'clock, and found it on a bench in the kitchen. Witness spoke to nobody about it. He did not then know what it was. Witness was in deceased's room when Sub-Inspector Draper searched the room. In reply to Mr. Abigail, witness said that deceased's mother occupied the room on the Monday and Tuesday following the removal of Miss Flana gan to the hospital. Dr A. W. Mobbs stated that he ex amined Miss Flanagan on Saturday evening, July 5. Witness gave evi dence of the results of this examina tion, and of the finding of a portion of a certain instrument. This instru ment, he said, had its legitimate uses, but was sometimes used for unlawful purposes. Witness knew the accused; with whom he had transacted business, in conncction with the purchase of a musical instrument. An agree ment had been made, partly printed and partly written. Accused had filled, in the hand-writing. Wit ness believed that the letters (pro duced) were in the same handwriting. W. J. Millard, storekeeper, Young, said that he was an agent for a Syd ney company and he knew the accus ed. Witness had received a business communication purporting to come from the accused, who had visited Young, about the beginning of July. The letter (produced), dated March 4, was the business communication re ferred to. That letter and others (now produced) seemed to be in the same hand-writing. Witness had never seen accused write, and he was not a hand-writing expert. There was an hotel at Young called ''The Royal' and the paper, produced was similar to that used at the hotel. Dr. T. W. W. Burgess stated that , he was called early on Sunday morn ing, July 6, to Miss Flanagan, and he found her to be in agony suffering from acute peritonitis. On July 7, as the result of a consultation with Dr. Leahy, deceased was sent to the hos] pital. The case was practically hopeless, and early on July 11, she died. Witness held a post-mortem examina tion, with the assistance of Dr. Leahy. Deceased's injuries could have been produced by the use of instru ment (produced), and were probably so caused. Deceased was sensible to the end. Ernest Bellair, Commercial Hotel proprietor, said that accused formerly stayed at the hotel. By the hotel hooks (produced), he was staying-at the hotel from the morning of February 27 to the afternoon of March 7 last. The paper (produced) was supplied by witness for Ihis customers' use. Thomas Matthew Flanagan, brother of the deceased, deposed that he examined his sister's effects after her death and found the two letters (produced). A third letter came in witness' mail on July 9 but was not handed to deceased. These letters were handed in as evidence Mr. Abigail formally objecting. Joseph Soden, optician, said that as requested by accused, he ordered, on June 24, when in Sydney, a certain instrument to be despatched to Wagga. Witness paid for the article, and there the matter dropped so far as he was concerned. James Longworth, storeman, employed at Washington-Souls, Sydney deposed to despatching parcel addressed to accused, Australian Hotel, Wagga. Rennie Wray pharmacist manager of WashingtonSouls said that he could not identify witness Soden as the one who ordered an instrument from his firm on June 23. Witness said that his firm stocked such in struments but withdrew his state ment later. Mr Higgins then declare that he would treat witness as hostile. Witness admitted telling Detectives Brown and Terlich that he must have despatched an instrument to accused at Wagga. This concluded the evidence for the prosecution. Mr. Abigail submitted that there was no case for the accused to answer, as it had not been proved that the instru ment used by deceased was the in strument obtained at accused's request. The P.M. held that, there was a prima facie case against Wilksch. When asked to plead, accused re plied not guilty, and reserved his de fence. He was committed for trial at the Wagga Circuit Court, to he held on October 1 next, bail being allowed in sureties totalling £80.
