DEATH THROUGH SHOCK.

Leader, 31 July, 1912.

DEATH THROUGH SHOCK.

Mr. William Crane, lately employed

as a warder in Bathurst Gaol, died in

St. Vincent's Hospital on Monday

morning, after a painful illness. About

Easter time, the deceased received the

news that his only son, Fred, had

gone down with the ill-fated steamer

Koombana, and since then his health

began to fail as a result of the shock.

The deceased leaves a widow and two

daughters, who reside at Peel-street,

Bathurst.
