Note 6: Burial info Townsville Daily Bulletin 1 May 1929 MACKAY MURDER CASE. Charge Against Gordon. MACKAY April 30. Charles Henry Horton Gordon was to-day committed for trial at the Cir- cuit Court on June 16, on a charge of wilfully murdering his wife, Margaret Elisabeth Gordon, at Eton, on April 20. Detective Acting Sergeant Kearney gave evidence at length regarding a visit to the house where the tragedy occurred and bringing the accused to the Mackay watchhouse, where later he interviewed the accused and ad- ministered the usual caution. Accused said he was wearing blood stained socks and a shirt on Saturday night in question. Constable Harry West of Eton, de- tailed the visit of Gordon to the Eton Police Station when the accused said 'I am in trouble, as I have killed my missus'. Accused said he had a row and lost his temper and killed her on the farm. He said he hit her with a stone and then flung it at her. He said he hit her with a brick till she stopped screaming. She said "Don't. Don't hurt me." He hit her till she stopped. This happened about an hour after his son and daugh- ter went to the pictures. A lamp be- came overturned and the kerosene ran over her, catching her alight. He put the fire out with some water. She accused him of being too friendly with other women at Eton and he got wild and lost his temper. There was also an argument with his son to sell the farm, which worried him. He wanted his son to break the agreement. Several other witnesses were ex- amined but no new facts were elicited and accused was committed for trial.
