Body in park — no identity
Police have appealed to Holroyd residents for any information that may lead to the identification of a man’s body found in Fairfield Park last week.
The body was found by police and is believed to have been in the park for between three to four weeks.
Police said the man may have come from the Holroyd area and may have been known to district residents.
Officer-in-charge of detectives at Fairfield, Detective Sergeant J. Loomes said police were unable to identify the man. ‘The body was in an advanced state of decomposition and therefore impossible to identify.
‘ The man was about five feet seven inches tall, weighed nine or ten stone and had a very good set of teeth. He was wearing multi coloured check shirt, grey trousers, green socks and brown shoes. ‘ He was either round shouldered or had a slight hump on his back. ‘ We have no idea of his age, but we are certain there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death. ‘ Any persons with information concerning the dead man are asked to contact Det. Sgt. Loomes or Det. W. Knight, at Fairfield police station.
Gosford Times and Wyong District Advocate (NSW : 1906 – 1954),

Dangerous driving; £20 fine
The driver of a news paper delivery truck was fined £20 for dangerous driving, and another £5 for having inefficient brakes, when he was convicted of these charges in Gosford Court.
He was Gregory George Creamer, of Belmont, who drove a ‘Daily Mirror‘ delivery truck.
An offence of speeding was found proven, but Creamer was discharged. The plea in all cases was not guilty.
Constable James Edward Loomes ( 21 Division ) told the court he saw a truck being driven around a bend in the Pacific Highway, Lisarow, at speed and on the wrong side of the road. The constable, riding a police motor cycle outfit, had to swing the bike between two white guide posts to avoid a serious accident.
WRONG SIDE
The truck continued on the wrong side of the road, and missed the cycle by only two feet, said the constable. He had chased it, and had been unable to catch it for four miles, both vehicles travelling at a speed of 50 mph through Ourimbah.
Constable Edward Simmons, ( 21 Division ) gave similar evidence.
He said he had tried out the truck’s hydraulic brakes, and had to push the pedal to the floor several times before they would work.
Const. Cecil Cutler ( 21 Division ) said he saw the truck speeding through Ourimbah at an estimated speed of 45 mph.
DRIVER’S EVIDENCE
Creamer said he was travelling at about 35 mph with ‘Daily Mirror’ newspapers when, as he started to cut the corner, he saw the motor cycle from 100 to 150ft ahead. He had put his foot on the accelerator and pulled over to his left, so he came on to the correct side of the road.
The motor cycle had plenty of room to stay on the bitumin, said Creamer.
He had not known he was being followed until he saw police on a motor cycle, in his rear vision mirror.
He had then stopped.
The police had said to him, ” you —- , you nearly killed us.”
His brakes had been in good order, said Creamer. He had said in a statement to the ‘Daily Mirror’ office that Const. Loomes had punched him in the stomach.
VERY ANGRY
Const. Loomes had been very angry, and might not have been able to avoid punching him, however. The constable had no justification for being angry.
Oswald William Dewes, of Valentine, said he checked the truck’s brakes two days before the incident, and the day after. The brakes had been in good working order, but Dewes had heard of hydraulic brakes failing, and being effective the next day.
Mr. C. W. English, SM, said Creamer, driving on the wrong side of the road, caused the motor-cycle to deviate off the bitumin.
Creamer’s evidence had been very inconsistent, said the magistrate. ( Sgt. W. H. Taylor for the prosecution, and Mr. A. D. Hickey for Creamer. )

TIM is NOT mentioned on the Police Wall of Remembrance *NEED MORE INFO
FURTHER INFORMATION IS NEEDED ABOUT THIS PERSON, THEIR LIFE, THEIR CAREER AND THEIR DEATH.
There was a poignant scene in the old stone courthouse at Katoomba on Wednesday, when a detective handed the District Coroner ( Mr. P. O. Medlicott ) a photograph of the body of a six-weeks-old baby boy, described by doctors as shrivelled, wasted, and a victim of malnutrition.
Turning to the baby’s parents, who had been charged with manslaughter, Sgt. A. Waining ( assisting the Coroner ) said: ‘I don’t suppose you want to see it. You are entitled to see it, if you want to.’
The baby’s father, 26 years-old railway fettler, Leslie Williams, studied the photo impassively, but his 35 years-old de facto wife, Mrs. Peggy Winifred Lillian Poile, whose long hair flowed over her shoulders, turned away, hid her tear-stained face in the arms of a police woman, and sobbed convulsively.
The story told to the coroner began two years ago, when Mrs. Poile, having left her legal husband, went to live with Williams.
On April 19 last the couple, giving the name of Mr. and Mrs. Williams, called at the home of Mrs. Gwenllian Cousins, in Walgett St., Katoomba, seeking accommodation. ‘They had no money,’ said Mrs. Cousins.
‘Williams said he would pay me three weeks’ rent when he received his pay from the railways, which he did.
‘Mrs. Williams looked very ill, and was obviously expecting a baby, so I let them have No. 2 flat. ‘She didn’t make any preparations at all for the arrival of the child or children. People gave her things. ‘The flat was never tidy. I told her she should clean it up.’
On May 15, Mrs. Cousins drove Mrs. Williams — as most of the witnesses called her — to the Blue Mountains District Hospital.
‘Grey-Looking’
Sister Edith Mary Jones, of the hospital’s obstetric ward, told the coroner that Mrs. Williams first gave birth to a girl weighing 41b 4.5 oz., and 15 minutes later, to a boy weighing 41b 4.5 oz.
Mrs. Williams took her babies, Gary Lawrence and Lesley Gail, back to her flat on May 29.
On Tuesday, June 23, Mrs. Cousins noticed that Gary was ‘a bit grey looking,’ and told Mrs. Williams she should take him to a doctor at once.
About 5.30 that afternoon, Mrs. Williams asked a neighbor, Beryl Fay Martin, also known as Mrs. Andrews, to mind the children while she went to meet her husband.
The babies’ parents returned home shortly after 9 p.m. ‘They had both had quite a few drinks,’ said Mrs. Andrews. ‘I think you could say they were drunk.
‘Mrs. Williams picked up the boy and started feeding him on the breast, and I think Mr. Williams went to pay the rent,’ she said.
The landlady, Mrs. Cousins, said that later that night she saw Mr. and Mrs. Williams in bed fully clothed.
‘Pretty full’
Next night, according to a statement, Williams allegedly made to police, he and the babies’ mother again went out and got ‘pretty full.’
About 5.45 next morning, Mrs. Williams hurried to Katoomba police station, carrying Gary, wrapped in what Const. Maurice John Tyler described as ‘a grubby shawl.’
The constable said Mrs. Williams told him: ‘When I woke up this morning, the baby was cold and grey. I tried to get a taxi to go to the hospital.’
The constable took Mrs. Williams to the hospital. Sister Ruby Helen Wilson said that when the child arrived at the hospital, it was dressed in grubby clothes and wrapped in a dirty shawl.
‘I examined the child and found it was very cold, blue, dirty and obviously under-nourished,’ said Sister Wilson.
‘I contacted the matron, placed the baby in an oxygen tent and packed it with hot water bottles.’
Dr. Alfred Kenneth Jones, relieving Government Medical Officer at Katoomba, said he examined Gary at 11 o’clock the same morning. ‘He was obviously very sick, and deeply cyanosed — that means blue,’ said the doctor. ‘He was very wasted, consistent with a state of malnutrition.
In my opinion, medical attention should have been sought for the child considerably earlier.
‘Wastage would have occurred over perhaps two to three weeks, and I think should have been obvious to any person having care of the child.’
Gary Williams died about 4 a.m. next day, June 26.
Seven hours later, Dr. Jones said, he performed a post-mortem examination. The baby was very emaciated, and there was almost complete absence of sub-cutaneous fat.
‘Shrivelled up’
The small Intestine was completely collapsed, due to the absence of food. ‘It would seem that the persons who had charge of the baby had not given it sufficient to eat,’ the doctor said. ‘In my opinion, the cause of death was malnutrition, with terminal pneumonia.’
Dr Philip Hudson Macindoe, of Wentworth Falls, who also examined the baby, while it was in the oxygen tent, said it was ‘wasted, underweight, and shrivelled up,’ and apparently suffering from malnutrition.
Dr. Alfred Alcorn, of Echo Point, said that at 4 p.m. on June 26, at the request of Det. Sgt. Fisher he examined Mrs. Williams’ baby daughter, Lesley. She was thin, and in his opinion was also suffering from malnutrition. Her condition was now ‘quite improved.’
William James Irons, district officer of the Child Welfare Department, said he accompanied police in an inspection of the Williams’ flat on June 25.
‘Did the best’
The premises were filthy, and unfit for children he said.
Det.-Sgt. John Thomas Fisher ( NSWPF # ???? ), of Katoomba, said he had told Williams: ‘It’s alleged the baby was green yesterday morning, when Mrs. Cousins saw it.’ Williams replied that he had a hangover, and added: ‘I was that crook I didn’t feel like worrying about it. I sat in the backyard in the sun,’ said Fisher.
Williams told the coroner he did not wish to give evidence at the inquest. Mrs. Poile, however, elected to enter the witness box.
Her evidence consisted of two sentences, spoken between tears. ‘I just want to say I did the best for the baby.’ she sobbed. ‘Honest, I didn’t realise he was so ill.’
The coroner found that Gary Williams died from pneumonia, following malnutrition, which was the result of lack of care by its parents, and that the parents feloniously slew the child.
He committed Williams and Mrs. Poile for trial at Parramatta Quarter Sessions, and allowed each £100 bail.

Police gear up for nostalgic chaos that was Beatlemania
SYDNEY: Scenes reminiscent of Beatlemania are expected tomorrow when rock superstar Paul McCartney makes his first in-store record appearance since the days of the Beatles.
Thousands of McCartney’s fans are expected to turn out to try to get a glimpse of – or meet – the former Beatle when he appears for 30 minutes at Brashs’ city store to sign copies of his latest album, Off The Ground.
EMI Music spokesman Tom Enright said police had been enlisted to assist with crowd control.
” We’ll have masses and masses of security guards to make sure that people file in and out of the store correctly, ” Mr Enright said.
” And of course, the store will be barricaded. ”
The control technician of the City of Sydney police, Inspector Paul Moseley, would not reveal how many police would be in attendance.
” There will be police on hand to assist security guards with the maintenance of order in the store, ” he said.
Two prison escapers had been caught in Goulburn yesterday, after police received a tip that they had boarded a train to Goulburn from Sydney, Constable Paul Moseley, of Goulburn CID said yesterday.
The escapers had been serving six-month sentences at Silverwater Jail, near Parramatta.
One, Mr Anthony Coleman, 20, walked out of the jail early on Monday, and the other, Mr Gary Lee, failed to report back to the centre after being allowed weekend leave last Friday.
Three other prisoners who have escaped since last Friday are still at large.
Mr Raymond Wright, 24, serving 18 years for armed hold-up, cut bars in his cell and climbed the security wall at Goulburn Jail on Tuesday, and escaped.
Mr Barry Millane, 39, serving a life sentence for murder, escaped on Friday night while attending a basketball game at the Sydney Boys’ High School.
Earlier on Friday a young prisoner absconded during his regular cooking class at East Sydney Technical College at Darlinghurst.
SYDNEY. Sunday. Police are investigating the shooting of 34 merino rams, valued at more than $4,500, on a Goulburn property.
Detective P. Moseley, of Goulburn, said some of the sheep had been killed and others had been crippled and had dragged themselves about until they died.
