WILLIAM ALFRED WEISKE. The sudden death yesterday of Mr. William Alfred Weiske. of 19 Byron- street, Mackay, came as a shock to a wide circle of friends. The late Mr. Weiske, who was an engine-driver in the railway service, was at his home in his usual health and spirits yesterday morning, but shortly before noon complained of indisposition. He took a headache powder and soon afterwards members of the family heard him fall heavily. Apparently he became dizzy and collapsed, and in falling he struck his head heavily on a concrete block at the foot of some steps. A doctor was called, but Mr. Weiske passed away shortly afterwards. A native of Mackay, the late Mr. Weiske, who was held in the highest esteem by those who knew him, had served in the Railway Department in the South, but returned to Mackay and had been a driver in this centre for over 30 years. He leaves a wife and two daughters, Dulcie and Jean. One brother, Charles, a veterinary surgeon, lives in Mackay, and another brother, Fred, retired from the Postal Department, lives in Bundaberg, while a third, Ernest, is at Hughenden. One sister, Mrs. Sampson, lives in Brisbane, and another sister, Mrs, Laurent, is at Tully. The funeral will take place this afternoon from his late residence in Byron-street, at 4 o'clock. Daily Mercury (Mackay) 7th June 1939 LATE MR. W. WEISKE; PREMIER'S TRIBUTE TOWNSVILLE, June 6. — The Premier (Mr. Forgan Smith), who arrived from Cairns by the Kanimbla this morning, expressed deep regret at reading of the death of Mr. W. Weiske at Mackay. Mr. Smith stated Mr. Weiske was an old personal friend and a highly respected citizen of Mackay. He desired to convey his sympathy to the widow and family in their irreparable loss. The Northern Miner (Charter Towers) 8 September 1939 THIRD TRIAL AT TOWNSVILLE Weiske Murder Case MACKAY, September 7 When two juries on two successive days failed to agree upon a verdict in a case in which a man is charged, with murder, Mr. Justice R. J. Doug has ordered that the trial be adjourned to Townsville on November 20. William Royal Stanfield Sampson, aged 28, was charged with the murder of William Alfred Weiske, who died from poisoning on June 4, and the evidence was to the effect that Sampson said he put strychnine in a head ache powder in the handbag of Weiske's niece, who had refused to keep company with him. Weiske, with whom the girl lived, took the powder, not knowing that it had been tampered with. When to-day's jury failed to agree, His Honour said "Seeing that two juries in Mackay have disagreed, the retrial should be taken away from here. The juries have failed to agree on very simple grounds." Committal for trial at Townsville was then ordered.

Weiske, and the late Mr. W. Weiske. "Newstead." Byron street, was married to William George, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hobbs, Owen's Creek. Rev. H. G. Robinson officiated and Mr. Cumming presided at the organ. During the signing of the register Miss M. Watson sang "Ave Maria." Vases of rose colored gerberas and bridal veil fern decorated the Church. The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her uncle, Mr. R. Curran, looked charming in a soft gown of silk tulle over taffeta, with the bodice draped to a panel, appliqued in a lily design with silver thread. Similar applique work set of the sleeves and the skirt, which fell to form a circular train, on which the design was repeated. Her embroidered tulle veil was arranged with two white orchids. She carried a sheaf of arum lilies tied with satin streamers and wore the bride groom's gift, a black opal dress ring. There were two attendants, Misses Mavis Heath and Dulcie Welske (the bride's sister). They were frocked alike in blue net over taffeta. The bodices featured boat shaped necks outlined by ruching of pink net, finished with pink rosebuds. Pink rosebuds in silver horseshoes also formed the trimming for the bouffant skirts. Blue Juliet caps, edged with silver ribbon and pink rosebuds, were worn, and they carried circular bouquets of pink gerberas and sweet peas in blue tonings, tied with pink and blue streamers. "Miss Heath wore a signet ring, and Miss Welske a sap phire pendant, the bridegroom's gifts. The best man was Mr. R. Hobbs (the groom's brother) and the grooms man, Mr. R. Byrne. The reception was held at the Parish Hall, which was decorated for the occasion in sweet peas and roses. Over the bridal table a wedding bell of eucharis lilies was suspended, arranged with blue, pink, and silver streamers. A feature of the bridal table was the three-tier square cake, made by the bride's mother, and her aunt, Mrs. E. R. Weiske, and iced by a girl friend of the bride, Miss E. Hope. One tier was decorated for the bride in the horse emblems, and one represented the groom's profession. The guests were received by the bride's mother, who covered her crushed rose frock which had three- quarter length sleeves with a navy edge to edge coat. With It she wore a navy scisol straw hat and navy accessories. Her bouquet was of red roses, gerberas and sweet peas. The bridegroom's mother chose a navy ensemble worn with a navy straw hat relieved with white. Red roses and gerberas formed her bouquet. Leaving for the honeymoon, which is to be spent in Townsville, the bride wore a Marie Antoinette blue wool-de-Chine frock, with a laced contrasting cummerbund of navy, and navy embroidery on the bodice. Her navy felt hat was trimmed with the lighter blue tone. Her coat was silver gray fur, full length, made with an extended shoulder line and slightly flared skirt.
