PERJURED EVIDENCE
ALLEGATION AT INQUEST. CORONER’S STRONG STRICTURES. (Per Press Association — Copyright.) DUNEDIN, October 20. A verdict that death was due to injuries to his brain caused by deceased being knocked down, by some per-, son unknown on Sept. 3, was returned by the Coroner at the inquest 0 11 Albert Edwin Tuckey, aged 50 years, married, employed as a checker on the railways, who died at the hospital on September 7. Deceased was found lying on a footpath outside a South Dunedin hotel where he and other men had congregated. The Coroner added that the police had been faced with a conspiracy of silence. A number of witnesses had obviously committed perjury.
So far as the evidence wa s given by the men concerned, the affair was wrapped in complete mystery. Those men who had vanished from the soenr if indeed they could be called men, had been hard put to it to find a reason for their sudden disappearance, and one was as much struck by the stupidity, as by the falsehood of some of the stories which had been told.
