ILLABO RESIDENT DIES IN LOCK-UP
On Tuesday last Hercules Hull, a well-known resident of Illabo, was apprehended by Constable Ford on a charge of assaulting his wife. The constable then telephoned to Junee for a car, and handed his prisoner over to Constable Hume, of Junee, who deposited him in the Junee lock-up. On Wednesday he appeared before the court, and was remanded.
Put back in his cell, the man appeared to be all right, and had access to the exercise yard. On Wednesday night he went to bed as usual, and was given plenty of blankets and other bedding. He took his meals, and ate well. On Thursday morning, when Constable Sheldrick went into his cell, he found the man dead. The doctor's evidence was that the post mortem revealed that deceased had died from failure of the heart, which showed fatty degeneration. There were no marks on the body. At the lock-up there was ample bedding and blankets in the cell occupied by deceased.
Mrs. Hull stated that her husband suffered from a serious illness some years ago and never properly recovered. He was subject to fits of coughing, and at times was very ill. Deceased was a native of Stockinbingal, and had resided at Illabo for twelve years. He leaves a wife and three children. The eldest fifteen, and the youngest nine.
The coroner found that deceased had died from natural causes, and that everything necessary was done for him while he was an inmate of the lock-up.
