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. 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.
