A MAN KILLED THROUGH SWALLOWING A NEEDLE.
(Per Press Association.) Wellington, May 11. A man named James Brooks, of Karori, met his death under circumstances of a peculiar and most painful nature. He felt a pricking in his throat while eating dinner, which became more and more unendurable, and bleeding from the mouth set in. He went to the Hospital, but no cause could be found, and no relief given, the poor fellow eventually dying in agony. A post mortem showed he had swallowed a needle, which perforated a blood vessel in the stomach. He leaves a widow with five young children in poor circumstances.
