Christchurch, June 3
Robert Hughes, employed at Cashmere, died in the hospital this morning. He met with an accident on Saturday night while driving a gig on the Moorhouse Avenue tramline. The gig collided with a tramway pole, and he was thrown out. He was taken to the hospital and attended to, and afterwards removed to the police station, a charge of drunkenness being preferred. Next morning he was taken back to the hospital, where he died of cerebral hemorrhage. At an inquest this afternoon the verdict was that the deceased died from injuries received by being thrown from his gig while in a state of intoxication.
